Rosalie Gardiner Jones (1883-1978) was a wealthy Oyster Bay socialite and suffragist known as "General Jones"--she also had a law degree, and late in life was infamous for keeping many goats on her estate. www.newsday.com/community/guide/lihistory/ny-past1215,0,6... Jessie Belle Hardy Stubbs MacKaye was originally from Chicago, and one-time president of the Milwaukee Women's Peace Society. She was Columbia University educated, and legislative chair of the Women's Peace Society in NYC. She was noted for "urging all women to remain unmarried or to refuse to bear children until some efficient means should be devised to secure the world against the devastation of war." Jessie Stubbs died by suicide in 1921. While grieving her death, husband Benton Mackaye began formulating the idea that became the Appalachian Trail. www.erikness.com/Stories/bentonmackaye.html

The Flyer on the flag mentions: Rev Anna Shaw digital.library.upenn.edu/women/eagle/congress/shaw.html Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt (who somewhat resembles the person on the left in this picture) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrie_Chapman_Catt And quite possibly mentioned Max Eastman en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Eastman

Same women as this photo and others--just a different pose: www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/2478433644/ Jessie Stubbs, Rosalie Jones, and Ida Craft (in that order, here).

Thanks for deciphering the flyer! We'll add that info and the women's names, then reload the description.

Speaking at the suffrage meeting advertised on the flier seen here, Carrie Chapman Catt has a close connection to International Women's Day (IWD). In 1904, she was elected to the first board of the International Woman Suffrage Alliance at a meeting in Berlin and reelected in 1906 in Copenhagen. She promoted suffrage for women in her travels around the world in 1911-1912, stopping in South and East Africa, the Middle East, India, China, and many other places.
