- Reason
- Part of my Women in Red work (and my first nomination this year, wow.). Li Fu Lee was a bit of a sensation back in the 1920s for being a Chinese woman who came to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with her husband and then decided to get her degree in Electrical Engineering. There's a newspaper article that uses this image, so it's kind of a key image of her.
Do note that I need new glasses, so - although I went over some of the key parts six times - if you spot anything I missed, let me know. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.2% of all FPs. Currently celebrating his 600th FP! 21:59, 31 March 2023 (UTC) - Articles in which this image appears

- Support As the uploader of the original raw image, I'm very satisfied with the retouch. Good job, Adam! FunnyMath (talk) 03:00, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
- Comment – An interesting photo and person, and I'm not opposed. Just wish we had some info about the puzzling device with which she's posing, but there doesn't seem to be any. – Sca (talk) 13:06, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
- Looks like a motor-generator converter (making DC from AC?). I can see "cker-Wheeler" on the end plate, and the Wheeler company makes generators today... --Janke | Talk 11:17, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
- It's Crocker-Wheeler Company. Not the same Wheeler as today's generator service company. Bammesk (talk) 01:08, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
- Support – Adam, great restoration, but since you asked!, the lower left edge has a very narrow column of white pixels (maybe 1 pixel wide!). Bammesk (talk) 16:05, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
- Were a few other crop issues where the border poked in; uploading a fix now. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.2% of all FPs. Currently celebrating his 600th FP! 17:54, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

- Comment - I'm seeing a smidgen of dust just above the support under the table and on a floorboard in the lower left corner. Mind, the one under the table might be light reflecting off something. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 20:42, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
- @Crisco 1492: I'm going to leave the support table one, but I got the lower left one - was wavering over it anyway ad third inspection is making me go "damage". Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.2% of all FPs. Currently celebrating his 600th FP! 00:25, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
