Biography

Cora Crawford was a member of the National Woman's Party and one of the "Silent Sentinels" arrested during the 1917-1919 campaign to picket the Wilson White House for woman suffrage. Her dates of birth and death are unresolved.

Her August 6, 1918 arrest ended in bail, not in documented imprisonment, and is recorded here as an arrest only. Doris Stevens records a separate five-day term in January 1919 whose exact dates are unresolved. She was also sentenced on or about January 28, 1919 to forty-eight hours for applauding in court; release on January 30 is probable but no discharge record has been found, so it is not recorded as a release date.
