Biography

Mary Gertrude Fendall 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: January 1919: three days for applauding in court.

Stevens records a January 1919 arrest and three-day sentence for applauding in court. The passage does not explicitly state the actual term served or discharge. The stored nominal-as-actual day override is removed; no unsupported admission or release endpoint is substituted.
