Biography
Peggy Baird Johns 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: August 1917: 30 days; November 1917: 30 days.
The separate Peggy Baird Johns entry records thirty-day Occoquan sentences for August 1917 and November 1917 picketing. The August nominal episode is distinct from her existing November custody case. The entry supplies no individual August physical arrest, admission, discharge or completed thirty-day service.
Stevens describes Johns of New York, formerly of St. Louis, as a newspaper and magazine writer.
