Biography

Mary Gertrude Fendall 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 in court.

Stevens records a January 1919 arrest and three-day sentence for applauding in court. The passage does not explicitly state the actual term served or discharge. The stored nominal-as-actual day override is removed; no unsupported admission or release endpoint is substituted.

Stevens records Fendall’s graduation from Bryn Mawr, campaigning for the National Woman’s Party in the West in 1916, and service as national treasurer from June 1917 through December 1919.
