@4meter4: Is this too short an article? It seems to be less than 1500 characters, failing WP:DYK rule 2. Please explain or build that article a bit more. Ms Sarah Welch (talk) 16:23, 18 March 2016 (UTC)

I expanded the lead a bit to extend the prose over 1500 characters. There is no more content to add about this person as there is very little known or written about her other than what is already in the article. Best.4meter4 (talk) 05:04, 19 March 2016 (UTC)

The article is new. Just long enough, but interesting and notable to women's history. Posted by due date. Checked the image, and it is from May 1902 issue of The Colored American Magazine, being pre-1923, it is in public domain. Earwig's copyvio detector: violation unlikely. The article is sourced. QPQ done. Hook verified in page 111 of Kirk's book. GTG. Ms Sarah Welch (talk) 21:08, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
