Rose Greenhow?
So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in?

Both are excellent and obvious choices, but Gene got it right away.

The pic is very small and a little blurred, so I am guessing Ida Tarbell.

That is a wonderful guess, Joe, and you are on the right track (the lady was a writer), but it's not Ida Tarbell.

Bingo, Susan! Very good. I really like her books, and I think my favorite is Lincoln's Sons. I think one of the reasons for this is that the book has an index, something that many of her books do not have.

Yay, that was a complete guess!
Which lady mentioned on this forum from time to time is being described here?

"Is a young lady in years and appearance, of medium size, pleasant manner, and frank, cordial address,
not petite, yet handsome, and withal a woman of attractive social qualities."

No, but with Mary Lincoln you're getting close.
