Biography
Rose Gratz Fishstein 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: February 9, 1919: five days.
Stevens describes Fishstein as a shirt-factory operator, later a union organizer and a factory inspector for the New York State Factory Commission. The entry also reports earlier imprisonment for revolutionary activity in Russia and flight to the United States following release on bail. That earlier account is retained as attributed biography, without assigning a new case or custody total.
