On this night in 1917, dozens of suffragists, who had been arrested for protesting in front of the White House, were beaten and tortured during what became known as the "Night of Terror" when the guards were ordered to "teach the women a lesson." In our blog post, you can read their harrowing story and how it galvanized support for women's suffrage across the U.S. during the final push for the passage of the 19th Amendment.
