Biography
Mrs. L. H. Hornsby 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: November 10, 1917: 30 days in District Jail.
Stevens individually identifies this woman as a picketer and reports her imposed sentence. These details supply the missing case label without altering actual-custody dates or counters.
Stevens describes Mrs. L. H. Hornsby, then of New York and formerly of Illinois, as one of the country’s early women aviators.
