Should be Mrs. N. de R. Whitehouse. She was married to James Norman de Rapelye Whitehouse (1858–1949)

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.

A 1914 picture of Wycherly is at digital.library.louisville.edu/cdm/singleitem/collection/...

New-York tribune., July 06, 1915, Page 5 chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030214/1915-07-06/ed-... has a picture probably taken at the same time. Margaret Wycherly read an "Appeal to Liberty" at the Statue of Liberty as part of a demonstration in favor of women suffrage.

Part of the July 5, 1915 Women's Suffrage activities:

The New York Times account says she is dressed as "Goddess of Liberty", and here she's obviously copying the pose of the Statue of Liberty.

The Times article says that Mrs. James Lees Laidlaw participated in the ceremony, so that's who we have in this one. Mr. James Lees Laidlaw was also present, as President of the Men's League.
