Biography
Katherine Lincoln 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. Held at the Occoquan Workhouse in Virginia or the District of Columbia Jail, many of these prisoners joined hunger strikes and were force-fed.
Stevens individually identifies the picketer and records: Thirty days at Occoquan after the November 10, 1917 picket. This imposed term does not establish actual service or new endpoints.
Doris Stevens, Jailed for Freedom, Appendix 4, PDF pages 11.
Stevens describes Lincoln as working for Traveler’s Aid before joining the picket campaign, then working for the National Woman’s Party and campaigning for Anne Martin’s Nevada Senate candidacy.
