| Notes | Summary: Formal portrait of Chicago physician Cornelia De Bey, seated with right arm resting on back of chair propping up head, wearing skirt, jacket, tie, and eye glasses. Title and name of photo bureau transcribed from item. This photograph was likely distributed in connection with the June 5, 6, and 7, 1916, convention of women voters organized by the Congressional Union at Chicago's Blackstone Theatre for the purposes of forming a National Woman's Party, the goal of which was to remain independent of the existing political parties and campaign on a platform consisting of one plank, immediate passage of the Anthony amendment. The 1916 Woman's Party Convention received significant press coverage since it was intentionally scheduled a few days before the start of the Republican and Progressive Party conventions for which the press had begun to arrive in Chicago. |
