Biography
Eleanor Calnan 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: July 14, 1917: 60-day sentence, pardoned after three days; September 1917: 60 days; February 1919: eight days in Boston's Charles Street Jail.
Stevens distinguishes three episodes: the existing July 14, 1917 case, a September 1917 Occoquan sentence of sixty days, and a February 1919 Boston sentence of eight days at Charles Street Jail. The latter two were combined in the old July sentence text but absent as separate case rows. They are added without treating either nominal sentence as fully served.
