    6,675! That's the size of a reinforced regiment/brigade in today's military formations.

    NYT of January 16, 1916 query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F10711FB3E5F17738... lists her (mis-spelled as Henry) as a speaker at the final luncheon of the peace conference to which Henry Ford took U.S. delegates.
  • aware health said:
    I'm guessing that brooch she's wearing says "ICW," standing for "International Council of Women," of which she was vice-president at the time of the photo (according to that wiki page).
