Notes
Summary: Florence Youmans of Minnesota (left), clutching a suffrage propaganda banner, and Annie Arniel of Delaware (center), being approached in front of the White House gates by an unidentified policewoman, who appears to have seized Arniel's banner, while a third unidentified suffrage picket watches from behind her tri-color purple, white, and gold National Woman's Party flag, and a fourth picket looks away in a different direction.
Title taken from the caption accompanying a cropped version of the photograph published in The Suffragist, 5, no. 76 (July 7, 1917): 6.
Mrs. Annie Arniel, Wilmington, Delaware, did picket duty at the White House beginning in 1917. She was one of the first six suffrage prisoners and served eight jail sentences: three days in June 1917 and sixty days in Occoquan Workhouse in August-September 1917 for picketing; fifteen days in August 1918 for the Lafayette Square meeting; and five sentences of five days each in January and February 1919, for watchfire demonstrations.
