In January 1917, six women stood silently outside the White House demanding a simple right—the right to vote. Known as the Silent Sentinels, these suffragists endured arrests, imprisonment, hunger strikes, and brutal torture for challenging American hypocrisy during World War I.
This story uncovers the horrifying Night of Terror (November 14, 1917), when peaceful women protesters were beaten, chained, force-fed, and psychologically tortured at Occoquan Workhouse. Their suffering shocked the nation, shifted public opinion, and directly led to the passage of the 19th Amendment, granting American women the right to vote.
This is not just history—it’s the price women paid so democracy could exist as we know it today.
