Original –
Millicent Fawcett,
suffragist, governor of
Bedford College, London, co-founder of
Newnham College, Cambridge, president of the
National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies, and, 1901 she was appointed to lead the British government's
commission to South Africa investigating conditions in the
concentration camps that had been created there in the wake of the
Second Boer War. Oh, and she was the first woman to get a statue in
Parliament Square this year.

Mattximus: Just for the record, it's rare we know the photographers Bain News Service worked with, but a little investigation of a clue left in the TIFF identified it. This is by
Elliott & Fry. (This does not cause the slightest bit of difficulty, just thought it neat to know.)
