OriginalIris Calderhead, suffragette, daughter of Kansas Representative William A. Calderhead, who travelled extensively to advocate for suffrage, and who was arrested multiple times while protesting against Woodrow Wilson. Also involved with several organizations in fairly important roles, and did some interesting research, but these captions need kept to a certain length.
Reason
Intense gaze, and, while it's numerically near the minimum size for FPs, the composition, while effective, is unusually zoomed in, which means that you're probably getting about as much or more resolution than you'd get with a larger FP. Plus, I don't think there's any more detail that greater resolution would bring out..

    • @Adam Cuerden: Please trim white line on the right side. --- Coffeeandcrumbs 04:10, 5 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
      • @Coffeeandcrumbs: Edited it out as opposed to trimming, but it's gone. Sorry, I crop last, and while I did carefully check to make sure I got everything from the left - where I was cropping closely to try to get as much of her shoulder as possible - I thought I had cropped in enough on the right that I didn't have to worry.

        • @Adam Cuerden: No explanation necessary but I am afraid there is still some left-over lines on the right side edge: near eye level, chin level, and going further down. On the left side edge also, near her shoulder and a little bit further down. --- Coffeeandcrumbs 04:31, 5 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
          • @Coffeeandcrumbs: This is one of the things GIMP makes surprisingly hard to notice. But I've gone in at 800% zoom, and am pretty sure I got everything this time. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 7% of all FPs 04:40, 5 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support – Another courageous but little known contributor to U.S. political history. (Suggest inserting "against" before Woodrow Wilson in caption above.)Sca (talk) 12:54, 5 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • Done. Though I've never really thought anyone ever bothers to read these captions once the FPC closes. The POTD blurb is substantially longer, and it's not like we move the blurb to the file description. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 7% of all FPs 16:37, 5 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Well, it's good to make sense here too. – Sca (talk) 22:59, 5 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
True. It is more unambiguous to phrase it that way. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 7% of all FPs 00:30, 6 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
