rooftop

looks like a steam engine

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called The Sub-Sub-Basement, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

I really like the detail of the woman hanging clothes to dry on the roof top! Gelocation tags are for the listed address for the tall building in the picture, El Mundo Newspaper, from Oficina Estatal de Conservación Histórica. The register says the building's address is Calle San José #54 Viejo San Juan. Since the picture shows the San Juan Bay in the background, I infer the picture was taken from another tall building in the same block, but located on Calle Cruz.

The Flyer on the flag mentions: Rev Anna Shaw digital.library.upenn.edu/women/eagle/congress/shaw.html Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt (who somewhat resembles the person on the left in this picture) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrie_Chapman_Catt And quite possibly mentioned Max Eastman en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Eastman

Same women as this photo and others--just a different pose: www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/2478433644/ Jessie Stubbs, Rosalie Jones, and Ida Craft (in that order, here).

Thanks for deciphering the flyer! We'll add that info and the women's names, then reload the description.

Speaking at the suffrage meeting advertised on the flier seen here, Carrie Chapman Catt has a close connection to International Women's Day (IWD). In 1904, she was elected to the first board of the International Woman Suffrage Alliance at a meeting in Berlin and reelected in 1906 in Copenhagen. She promoted suffrage for women in her travels around the world in 1911-1912, stopping in South and East Africa, the Middle East, India, China, and many other places.

I started an entry for her in Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ida_Craft
