A black and white close photograph of Susan La Flesche, with her hair pinned up, wearing a high necked grey dress.
Bonus for this one:
Do you know this viral photo of three women doctors, from India, Japan, and Syria?

They were also the first women doctors (with a western degree) in their respective countries. Dr. Anandabai Joshee, Dr. Kei Okami, and Dr. Tabat M. Islambooly.

They were Dr. Susan La Flesche's classmates.

How is this girl squad not a high profile HBO show yet?!
