  Elizabeth Freeman (center) (holding flag) "Elizabeth Freeman (1876-1942), was a suffragist and civil rights activist. Her name, and signature, is often given as "Elisabeth". [1] "The family emigrated to the United States and the family lived on Long Island in New York, where her mother, Mary Hall Freeman, worked for an orphanage. In 1913 she took part in the national Suffrage Hike to the inauguration of Woodrow Wilson in Washington, District of Columbia. She dressed as a gypsy and drove a yellow, horse-drawn wagon that was stenciled with Votes for Women symbols and it carried pro-suffrage literature. --Wikipedia

  Probably the Long Island Suffrage Pageant, 23 May 1913 (from context with other surrounding photos).
