Gertrude Kelly

 * Symbol confirmed.svg New enough, long enough, well referenced, neutrally written, no close paraphrasing seen. The first hook, however, is not entirely accurate, as she was only one of the organizers; and it contains a quote lifted from The New York Sun, and abbreviates it at that, leaving out the part about workingmen. I suggest going with ALT1, which is verified and cited inline. Her list of accomplishments is certainly interesting. No QPQ needed for nominator with less than 5 DYK credits. ALT1 good to go.
