'''[[Iris Calderhead]]''' (1889–1966) was a [[suffragist]] and organizer in the [[National Woman's Party]]. She became involved in the women's suffrage movement in 1915 after meeting [[Doris Stevens]] and [[Lucy Burns]], leaders of the [[Congressional Union]], in New York City. She spent the next several years traveling around the US, mobilizing support for a federal [[List of amendments to the United States Constitution|constitutional amendment]] guaranteeing women's right to vote. She was arrested twice in 1917, first for displaying a banner during a visit by President [[Woodrow Wilson]] and then for picketing the White House. The [[Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution|Nineteenth Amendment]] guaranteed women's right to vote in the United States in 1919, but Calderhead's activism continued as she campaigned for the same rights internationally.
