OriginalMarguerite Durand in 1910. I don't think I can do better in summing her up than the first sentence of her article: "Marguerite Durand was a French stage actress, journalist, and a leading suffragette. She founded her own newspaper, stood for election, had a pet lion and now has the Bibliothèque Marguerite Durand named for her."
Reason
It may be a smidgen over-exposed, but it does seem to have all the expected detail.

Marguerite Durand
FP category for this image
You could really argue for a lot of categories under People, but I think I'll go with Wikipedia:Featured pictures/People/Political, given she's probably most famous for her suffragette work and political campaigns for feminism.
