Biography

Eva Weaver was a member of the National Woman's Party and one of the "Silent Sentinels" imprisoned during the 1917-1919 campaign to picket the Wilson White House for woman suffrage. Doris Stevens recorded her term as: January 13, 1919: five days.

The joint biography reports Eva H. Weaver’s death on August 25, 1956. Her birth year remains uncertain: the biography gives 1901, while the cited obituary age of 49 points to a different year.

Stevens identifies Eva Weaver as the daughter of the woman listed as Mrs. C. Weaver and reports that both worked in a Bridgeport munitions factory during the war.
