    This appears to be Mrs. Roger Sullivan (née Helen M. Quinlan) (center), her daughter, Virginia Hopkins Sullivan (left) and her daughter-in-law, Mrs. B. H. (Boetius Henry) Sullivan (née Mary Loretta Connery) (right).  Roger C. Sullivan was the first Democratic boss of Cook county (IL) – a position he held for 25 years. He was credited with swinging key support to Woodrow Wilson at the 1912 Democratic convention. A Bain / LOC photo of him is posted here.
    “I leave politics to Roger, home takes my time” – Mrs. Sullivan
    “Mrs. Roger Sullivan ... is content to stay away from politics, and believes more women should follow her example. “On women gaining suffrage she says, 'I think they do more harm then good.' ” [1] Virginia, one of four sisters (Mary Catherine, Helen Marie and Frances Josephine) and one brother (“Bo”), was described at the 1912 Democratic National Convention (at age 17) as ... “She is pure and simple vivacity, life, energy, and everything that thrills. She is the sort of girl that never 'lolls.' She can run her own automobile, and does when she is at home and she loves athletics and anything that has excitement in it. She is a petite young person, with black hair and blue eyes and rosy cheeks and she speaks with an expression that suggests a bit of Irish brogue.” Virginia married Thomas V. Brennan, an executive of the Independence Packing company in Chicago in 1918, and she died in 1937 at the age of 40. Boetius Sullivan and Loretta Connery were married December 27, 1911. –Compiled and excerpted [2] [3] [4]

    I really like this picture! It is amazing to see women dressed like this way by that time.

    by the looks of Mrs. Roger Sullivan I doubt that she left politics to Roger....methinks that she had a significant impact on what Roger thought. I certainly wouldn't want to cross her......
