Biography

Julia Hurlbut was a New Jersey National Woman's Party organizer arrested on July 14, 1917 for picketing the Wilson White House for woman suffrage. She received a nominal sixty-day sentence at the Occoquan Workhouse and was pardoned by President Wilson after three days.

Stevens identifies Hurlbut as vice chair of the New Jersey National Woman’s Party branch, a participant in its 1916 Washington state campaign and a wartime worker in France.
