, 10 Nov 1917, 41 suffragists are arrested outside the White House in Washington DC whilst protesting the force-feeding of suffragists in prison.

The “silent sentinels” were the first political group to picket the White House. From January 1917 to June 1919, over 2,000 women took turns at the protest. Around 500 were arrested in total, with 168 sent to prison.
