New-York tribune., May 09, 1920, Page 4, Image 72 printed this photo. The text in the corresponding article is: "Fru Elna Munch, president of the Danish Women's Suffrage Association, was elected to the lower house at the same election. She is the wife of the Minister of War, recently resigned, and has been a notable figure in the suffrage movement in Denmark for a number of years." chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030214/1920-05-09/ed-... "Elna Munch (13 June 1871 – 17 November 1945) was a Danish feminist and politician, (Danish Social Liberal Party). ... In 1918, she became one of the three first women in the Danish parliament, where she sat until 1935." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elna_Munch

Elna Munch (Elna Elisabeth Munch) (née Sarauw). In 1896 she graduated with an M.Sc. degree in mathematics from Kbh.s University (Copenhagen University). In 1902 she married Peter Munch (1870-1948), who was later Denmark's foreign minister from 1929-1940. They had one son Ebbe Helge Munch (1904-1976) whom I presume is the child sitting in Elna Munch's lap in this photograph. It appears that a different cropped version of this photograph is in the journal "Kvinden og Samfundet" ("Woman and Society, KvS"), no. 4, 1909. [1] [2]

Should be Mrs. N. de R. Whitehouse. She was married to James Norman de Rapelye Whitehouse (1858–1949)
Art Siegel said:
This is during the July 5, 1915 Women's Suffrage activities. Mrs. Norman de R. Whitehouse was chairman of the Empire State Campaign Committee, which arranged the events, and also Grand Marshal of the parade after the activities at Bedloe's (Liberty) Island.

The New York Times account of the day says the group going to Bedloe's (Liberty) Island was taken there aboard the yacht Tourist. I think that is where this photo was taken.
