Original – Ray Strachey

Reason: A fine image of one of those people who can be quite hard to get good images of. British archives tend to be locked down a bit, so we're lucky to have such a fine picture of Strachey. She's a prominent British suffragette and, while she didn't win a parliamentary election (though she came somewhat close), she headed two or three major organisations, was the British representative to the Inter-Allied Women's Conference, and, plus, parliamentary secretary to Nancy Astor (first woman to take a seat in parliament) isn't bad.

Support. You can still see a lot of the texture of the paper on which this was printed (I think), above the normal film grain, but it's not an unpleasant effect and it would likely do too much damage to try to hide that. I wonder whether the negative is still accessible somewhere? —David Eppstein (talk) 03:01, 19 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support – Very nice period pic (pre-WWI) – strong character shows in her expression (though her article is perhaps a bit thin). – Sca (talk) 13:25, 21 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
