Biography

Mrs. William Chisholm 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: September 4, 1917: 60 days at Occoquan.

Calculated release date for the stay beginning September 4, 1917: September 16, 1917, adding the recorded completed custody duration of 12 days with elapsed-calendar-day counting. This is a calculated date from the recorded admission and duration, not a separately documented physical-discharge date.
