Biography
Ruth Scott 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. Her dates of birth and death are unresolved.
She was arrested on January 13, 1919 and held overnight at the House of Detention, then sentenced on January 14 to five days in the District Jail. Her biography records that she served five days, which is consistent with release about January 19, but that date is not independently documented and is not entered.
