Elizabeth S. Rogers (Mrs. John Rogers, Jr.), of New York City, was the wife of a prominent thyroid specialist and a descendent of Roger Sherman, signer of the Declaration of Independence. She was a civic reformer working to improve New York public schools and win suffrage in the state of New York before joining the national suffrage movement. She was chairman of the Advisory Council of the NWP and one of the most forceful speakers in the "Prison Special" tour of the country, during which suffragists spoke of experience in jail. She was arrested July 14, 1917 picketing the White House and was sentenced to 60 days in Occoquan Workhouse, but was pardoned by President Woodrow Wilson after three days.

Suffragettes Women's suffrage is the right of women to vote in elections. Beginning in the late 1800s, women worked for broad-based economic and political equality and for social reforms, and sought to change voting laws in order to allow them to vote. National and international organizations formed to coordinate efforts to gain voting rights, especially the International Woman Suffrage Alliance (founded in 1904, Berlin, Germany), and also worked for equal civil rights for women. Women who owned property gained the right to vote in the Isle of Man in 1881, and in 1893, the British colony of New Zealand granted all women the right to vote. Most independent countries enacted women's suffrage in the interwar era, including Canada in 1917; Britain, Germany, Poland in 1918; Austria and the Netherlands in 1919; and the United States in 1920. Leslie Hume argues that the First World War changed the popular mood: "The women's contribution to the war effort challenged the notion of women's physical and mental inferiority and made it more difficult to maintain that women were, both by constitution and temperament, unfit to vote. If women could work in munitions factories, it seemed both ungrateful and illogical to deny them a place in the polling booth. But the vote was much more than simply a reward for war work; the point was that women's participation in the war helped to dispel the fears that surrounded women's entry into the public arena..."
