Biography

Margaret Fotheringham 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: August 1917: 60-day sentence.

Stevens records a sixty-day sentence following an August 1917 picket, not sixty days actually completed. Her work as a Red Cross and Walter Reed dietician is separately identified. The stored nominal-as-actual day override is removed; no unsupported admission or release endpoint is substituted.
