Biography
Bertha Walmsley was recorded among the members of the National Woman's Party jailed during the 1917-1919 campaign to picket the Wilson White House for woman suffrage. Doris Stevens's appendix says she served three days for applauding in court.
The sources disagree and the identity is unsettled. Inez Haynes Irwin's history instead lists an "Elizabeth Walmsley" among thirteen women sentenced on January 25, 1919 to forty-eight hours. Whether Bertha and Elizabeth Walmsley are the same person, and whether either is the Elizabeth K. Andrews Walmsley named in other accounts, cannot be settled on the present evidence. The records are deliberately not merged, and no dates of birth or death are recorded here.
