Laura Jane Addams (September 6, 1860 – May 21, 1935) was a founder of the U.S. Settlement House movement, and the first American woman to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane_Addams

Jane Addams was a social reformer, pacifist and women's rights activist who was most remembered as the founder of Hull House, one of the nation's first settlement houses which offered social, educational, and cultural opportunities to the large immigrant population of Chicago.

In 1931 she, together with Nicholas Murray Butler, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. She was the first American woman to receive a Nobel Prize. In 1940 this 10¢ stamp was issued in the Famous Americans Series – Scientists, to honor and commemorate her.   First Day ceremonies were held in Chicago on April 26, 1940. (Scott 878).

A 15-cent postal card in the Historic Preservation Series, marking the centennial of Hull House, was issued by the U.S. Postal Service in September, 1989. First Day ceremonies were held on September 16, 1989, at the Jane Addams Hull-House Museum—part of the College of Architecture and the Arts at the University of Illinois at Chicago. (Scott UX134).

Some articles on the march and parade in Washington, DC they were going to memory.loc.gov/ammem/awhhtml/aw01e/aw01e.html womenshistory.about.com/library/weekly/aa010118a.htm This photo was probably taken on February 10, 1913 (the adjacent photo has that date) There are photos from the parade in DC including www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/2615544645/ There was also a Pathe newsreel of this (Women descend from a double decker bus which carries a banner `Votes for women') ftvdb.bfi.org.uk/sift/title/592106

I agree that this was February 10, 1913. A New York Times article from the 11th on page 11 "Suffragists Spread Oratoray and Tracts" describes the bus ride the previous day.

roketpad and Steve Rhodes: Thank you for the information and NYT article citation. It does appear that the date of Feb. 10, 1913 is correct. We will update the information and reload the description.

A similar photo ist depicted in New-York tribune., February 11, 1913, Page 12 with the names of the women on the bus: Left to right: Elizabeth Freeman, Evelyn McCullough, Mabelle Morgan, Frances Hedges, "Colonel" Ida Craft, Helen Hoy Greeley, "General" Rosalie Jones, Mrs. James Lees Laidlaw, Rose Sanderson (1), Mrs. John Boldt, Hetty Wright Graham and Constance Leupp. (1) the correct name is Rose Sanderman
