Sheehy-Skeffington has been posted up here previously ...will have a rummage post rummage edit, it was Lilian Metge photo I was thinking of. She was arrested with SS for leafletting

Mrs Sheehy-Skeffington was in the USA in early 1917. The news of her safe arrival in New York City was announced in the Irish Citizen on Jan 6th. The Irish Citizen carried regular news of her visit, and she also wrote pieces as "H.S.S."

They (H.S.S. and her 7-year-old son Owen) were still in America as reported in the Irish Citizen on 3rd March. A speech made at Carnegie Hall gets mentioned quite a lot.

The reverse says that Clair Marcelle were photographers in NYC and Philadelphia.

I see google hits in 1921, 1937 for "Clair Marcelle" 5th Ave

Niall McAuley And from Library Towers catalogue, and other libraries in the States, Mrs Margaret E. Hickey wrote letters from New York, and specifically Brooklyn.

I think her perm looks 1930s?

Margaret signs off this letter to Joseph McGarrity as writing from
2177 Bedford Avenue (is that Brooklyn?)
and from
Irish Progressive League
229 Lex[ington] Ave[nue]

That letter is from the digital library at Villanova University. Beautiful clear handwriting. Margaret was obviously well acquainted with Hanna Sheehy-Skeffington.

There is a Margaret Hickey ion the 1940 US census living in New York, West 153rd St., born ~1905 in Ireland. EDIT: (not her)

Too easy with Google Lens -

This is unusual - from the wiki above - "Sha'arawi is depicted in the song "The Lioness" by English singer-songwriter Frank Turner on his 2019 album No Man's Land."

Bualadh bos, ɹǝqɯoɔɥɔɐǝq!

Though *shaking fist* at Google Lens for ruining our fun!

There are plenty of photos credited to G. Lekigian of Cairo in such illustrated periodicals as The Graphic and the Illustrated London News, and also to C.Lekigian and L. Lekigian, the latest being in 1919. In 2002 the Dundee Weekly News published a photo of camels, palm trees, Nile waters and the pyramids taken by Mrs Lekigian in the 1860s.

National Library of Ireland on The Commons Google Lens is sometimes amazing! Often it's AI gobbledegook ...
I am more than a little interested in this lady because my own Irish grandfather was a fairly senior officer in the Egyptian colonial Police from 1919 to 1937. He would certainly have known of Huda Sha'arawi, and possibly she knew of my grandfather.
[Aside - my mother was born in Cairo in 1922, which makes her my Egyptian Mummy ! ]
