OriginalAlice Locke Park, c. 1910-1920
Reason
Again, still going through the National Woman's Party records. Alice Park was one of the most important California suffragettes, as well as doing a lot of other good, for instance, she brought Arbor Day to California, and made sure that Californian women had a right to guardianship of their minor children. Article lacked any images of her before this, and I don't imagine anyone is going to try to argue that no image is better than a rather good image. She's roughly in her 50s in this photograph, she lived to 100, and did a lot of notable things around that period of time, so I think the timescale works out well for notability.

  • Support - Can't help but be a little skeptical of the date, but the LoC file is about as reliable a source as we'll get, I suppose. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 17:04, 12 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Rhododendrites: She's definitely 65/70 years old in this portrait, which gives us a date of circa 1940 or a little later. Geoffroi 02:38, 13 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
      • I think you're getting your dates wrong. She would have been in her 80s in the 1940s. She was born in 1861. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 7% of all FPs 02:55, 13 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
