Biography
Kate Boeckh 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 1919: three days for applauding suffrage prisoners in court.
Doris Stevens records an August 1917 arrest for suffrage picketing and says that the case was appealed. This is a separate episode from Boeckh’s January 1919 imprisonment for applauding suffrage prisoners in court. The August account supplies no individual statutory charge, sentence, jail-admission date, release date or completed custody duration. Stevens also describes Boeckh as a Canadian native living in Washington and an early woman aeroplane pilot.
