A Miss Dolly Kimbrough (note spelling) is mentioned a few times in the 1915 New York Times, heading a women's fundraising team for a building for the Newsboys Home Club. Miss Mildred Taylor gets a nice long mention, description, and quote in this October 1915 article about the vote for suffrage in New Jersey. She's called "the little New York suffragette," and mentioned in connection with a Victory Van campaign. She's also mentioned in reports of the October 1915 suffrage parade in New York City: "One of its features was the suffrage van driven by Miss Mildred Taylor, drawn by two white horses decorated with the colors of the [Women's Political] Union and preceded by the 'Van Guard'--a party of women who have campaigned with Miss Taylor all summer."

pennylrichardsca: Thank you for the NYT articles which mention these suffragists. We will include some of the information in our updated description for this image.

"Miss Ethel Stebbins, wearing a white suit and suffrage hat, will be Grand Marshal of the parade. She is the daughter of Henry G. Stebbins, an old New Yorker, who was Chairman of the Committee of Seventy in the days of the Tweed Ring." New York Times, 22 October 1915: query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F10E10FA395D16738...

No doubt in the Suffrage parade of 10-23-15. "Carrie Chapman Catt (January 9, 1859 – March 9, 1947) was a women's suffrage leader who campaigned for the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution which gave U.S. women the right to vote in 1920. Catt served as president of the National American Woman Suffrage Association and was the founder of the League of Women Voters and the International Alliance of Women." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrie_Chapman_Catt

Thank for the information artolog. We will add her full name to our catalog record. I believe you are correct about the parade also. It's in between other negatives from that event and she's wearing a sash which says "International Woman's Suffrage Alliance". I'll ask for that to be added to the record also.
