On this day, 14 November 1917, the “Night of Terror” began at the Occoquan Workhouse in Virginia, in which 33 imprisoned suffragists were brutally tortured and beaten by guards. The women, mostly members of the National Women’s Party had been picketing the White House in support of voting rights for women. Guards were ordered to attack the women on the evening of this day, and they began to assault the prisoners after midnight. https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.296224173896073/1263493023835845/?type=3
