I really just want a new profile picture, but since it's here I challenge everyone (not Ines) to guess who this is and why I picked her. And for bonus points, to connect her to the boy scouts through a rather short chain of associations.

A PMS (Post Modernist Sorority). The Catholic ideal has not been tried and found wanting; it has been found difficult and left untried-GK Chesterton. We're going to try it.

My heart sinks, but I cannot complain since I have just switched photos.
Were there more of a resemblance, I would have guessed Saint Margaret Clitherow.
It's that one lady that one artist painted....you know.....her.
Yep, that's right. I now have a different and better picture of her.
Actually, it looks just as blurry now. Oh well. Margaret Clitherow is a contemporary more or less, but nope.
Margaret is right, Clitherow isn't...
Nice picture, Crusader!
Margaret and french...¿sure is circa XVI century? ¿Maybe Scottish?
Did I say French? Well, she's wearing a French hood, but no... Crusader88 was right about the country of origin, too.
No you didn't. But been related with your steel lily, I suppose she was french. So english. ¿Or british? One more thing. Is margaret, isn't she? Or Mary?
Yes, she is Margaret. But which?...
¿Gautier? ¿Gutier-rez?
Besides, you didn't answer the year, my dear. Nor the century, eventually.
Early 1500's, England... what else do you need? You'll never get it.
I never tried. I'm just bothering.
Give up?
Margaret Roper, nee More. St. Thomas More's eldest daughter, Classics student and translator of Erasmus.
