Is this the same woman as in hdl.loc.gov/loc.pnp/cph.3b10975 ? If so, she is Margaret Vale (Mrs. George Howe), niece of Pres. Wilson.

Made a recycled-cardboard pendant of this image at THATCamp SoCal today (1/12/11):

Mrs. Margaret Howe holds the emblem representing the Oregon delegation at a women's suffrage parade in 1913 in Washington DC. At this march/ parade, the women held banners representing states that already had women's suffrage. Oregon women obtained the right to vote in 1912.

magpiejunkin: Thanks for pointing us to the suffrage parade here. We'll include this information about the event next time we update our descriptions.

Margaret Ogg is best known for her extensive political, social, and feminist activities. Additionally, she was a poet, writer, and an accomplished musician, playing viola in the family quartet, as well as holding membership with the Musical Association. A staunch monarchist and anti-socialist, Ogg actively toured outback townships in Queensland promoting women's suffrage and encouraging pioneer women to become involved in state and national affairs. As a founder, co-founder, and member of many Queensland women's organisations, she was consistently at the forefront of political and social campaigns to secure reforms for Queensland's women and children. Ogg remained an active member of the Brisbane political and cultural scene up until her death. Margaret Ogg was multitalented, intellectual, community-minded, indomitable, and quick-witted. Shortly before her death, in a letter dated 28 October 1946, Miss Ogg wrote: "No woman can do more than her little bit - often falling far short of intention, but it has been my privilege to have as co-workers some of the finest women in Queensland, and the success and development which attended our efforts was, and is due to their loyalty and self-sacrifice, without which no sure foundation can be laid".
