OriginalHester C. Jeffrey
Reason
There are two downsides of this image: Firstly, it's froma printed version, and secondly, it's been cut out to the oval shape it was printed in, leaving out the surrounding paper. However, this appears to be the only image of Hester Jeffrey - one of the most important African-American suffragettes - and, so far as I can tell, only the printed versions remain in existance, and this seems to be of substantially better quality than most printings, e.g. An Authentic History of the Douglass Monument: Biographical Facts and Incidents in the Life of Frederick Douglas (Guess who worked to make that monument happen, as well as one to her friend Susan B. Anthony? Oh, and guess who was the only non-clergy allowed to speak at Anthony's funeral?). As such, I think it's highly featurable, despite not being ideal. And, hey, if it isn't featureable, it's still worth having been done.
