Doris Stevens: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doris_Stevens Alice Paul: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_Paul The "wife of Controller William Prendergast" is mentioned as being involved in a Congressional Union suffrage rally in April 1915--with Doris Stevens, Mrs. WIlliam Colt, and Crystal Eastman Benedict, Mrs. John Rogers, and Inez Milholland Boissevain. query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=F50E1FFF3E5A15... Assuming they mean the Controller of New York, his name was William A. Prendergast, and his wife was the former Mary Agnes Hull. Mrs. William L. Colt was among the Congressional Union members arrested at a White House protest.

The woman in the driver's seat here is the same as the woman labeled Mrs. Boissevain in this photo: www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/7753231538/ But the Mrs. W. L. Colt there doesn't seem the match the one here?

Suffragettes. Alice Paul and Doris Stevens were noted feminists. Others are Mrs. William Colt and Mrs. William Prendergast. The Congressional Union for Woman Suffrage held a meeting of the Advisory Council in New York City in March 1915.

Just prior to their visit to Senator O'Gorman on April 30, 1915,

the women held a rally headed by two decorated cars in front of what is now called Federal Hall, 26 Wall Street, New York City. It was then the Sub-Treasury building, and was built in 1842 as the New York Customs House.

The statue behind them is of George Washington and marks the approximate spot of his inauguration as President.

Thanks to all of you for your research. We'll see if we can resolve the question of Mrs. W.L. Colt between the two photographs, pennylrichardsca, before we update the records.

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.
