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.

Reason

Another fine, well-sourced image that vastly improves on what was there before, to whit, [1]

• @Bammesk, Mydreamsparrow, Kaldari, MER-C, and 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.) Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.9% of all FPs} 19:37, 11 December 2018 (UTC)
• @Bammesk, Mydreamsparrow, Kaldari, MER-C, and Mattximus: And sorry to ping you again, but per a comment at the Commons nomination, I've made a small contrast tweak to bring out detail in a small part of her hair. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.9% of all FPs} 20:19, 15 December 2018 (UTC)
