Biography
Louise Bryant 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. She was a radical journalist, later a correspondent on the Russian Revolution.
Stevens describes Bryant as an author, poet and journalist who spent six months in Petrograd during the Russian Revolution as a correspondent for the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
