Mrs. J.B. Harriman at the Women's Fusion League Rally, c. 1913

A press photograph rather than a Life cartoon, this image nonetheless documents the suffragist milieu the magazine satirized. Labeled Mrs. J.B. Harriman in handwritten ink at upper left, the shot captures Florence Jaffray "Daisy" Harriman (front, feathered hat) and Irene Langhorne Gibson—wife of Life cartoonist Charles Dana Gibson—on what appears to be a campaign platform, a banner for the Women's Fusion League legible behind them. A stout male figure stands between the women; a hatted man watches from lower right. The trio likely stumped for reform mayoral candidate John Purroy Mitchel in New York City. Harriman was a prominent Democratic organizer; Langhorne Gibson lent the cause the cultural glamour of the "Gibson Girl" her husband had made famous.
