Since I was wondering what she died of, thought others might as well. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inez_Milholland Pernicious anemia (also known as Biermer's anaemia or Addison's anaemia or Addison-Biermer anaemia) is a form of megaloblastic anemia due to vitamin B-12 (vitamin B12) deficiency, caused by impaired absorption of vitamin B-12[1] due to the absence of intrinsic factor[2] in the setting of atrophic gastritis, and more specifically of loss of gastric parietal cells. While the term "pernicious anemia" is sometimes also incorrectly used to indicate megaloblastic anemia due to any cause of vitamin B-12 deficiency, its proper usage refers to that caused by atrophic gastritis and parietal cell loss only. It is the most common result of adult vitamin B-12 deficiency.[3]

Prominent suffragette.

why is this pic tagged Seabiscuit?

Good question, chloe & ivan. I'll look into it, and have the tag removed if necessary. Thanks for catching it.

chloe & ivan: We'll leave the tag in, as we need to leave open the possibility that the words chosen are sometimes used interpretively, rather than factually. We all know that the horse is not the actual "Seabiscuit," who wasn't even born yet, and this setting is hardly a racetrack. But Seabiscuit was a symbol of hope for many, and perhaps our tagger was drawing on the hope he inspired, as Inex Milholland would have inspired to women of her time.

from a previous Flickr photo note: Inez Milholland Boissevain (born August 6, 1886 in Brooklyn, New York - November 25, 1916 in Los Angeles) was a suffragist, labor lawyer, World War I correspondent, and public speaker who greatly influenced the women's movement in America.

that's not just any horse, that is a well bred and well cared for animal!

Thanks, Harry Angstrom, for the useful information about Inez Milholland Boissevain. We will add the clarification of her name, the event (a suffrage parade), and the date to this record next time we update it.
