Biography
Anna Kuhn was a Maryland physician who took part in the 1917-1919 National Woman’s Party campaign to picket the Wilson White House for woman suffrage. (Recorded as Dr. Anna Louise Kuhn; April 13, 1859 - October 6, 1934)
She was arrested on August 6, 1918 at Lafayette Square and released on bail.
Stevens’s appendix additionally records a November 1917 arrest and a thirty-day sentence, but Irwin’s November 10 roster does not contain her name, and the appendix does not identify whether such a sentence was served at the District Jail or at Occoquan or give discharge dates. That term is therefore described here but not recorded as a case with dates.
The appendix records a thirty-day sentence for the November 10, 1917 picket, not thirty days actually served. The existing case instead concerns an August 6, 1918 bail-only arrest and explicitly says no imprisonment is documented. Its thirty-day actual override conflates separate events.
