The National Women's Party itself was not labeled "silent sentinels". Beginning in January 1917, a group of women from NWP stood in front of the White House every day with banners that read "Mr President, What Will You Do For Woman Suffrage?" and "How Long Must Woman Wait For Liberty?". These women were the ones called "silent sentinels". They also carried purple, white, and yellow flags. After June 1917, the picketing women were regularly arrested and sometimes subject to mob violence, but continued to appear daily and picket President Wilson's appearances at events outside the White House.

How many women were in the silent sentinels?

The Silent Sentinels were a group of women suffragists who protested for women's voting rights in the early 20th century, particularly from 1917 to 1919. The group, organized by Alice Paul and the National Woman's Party, consisted of about 1,000 women. These women stood in front of the White House holding banners and demanding suffrage, making them some of the first to picket the White House for their cause. Their brave actions significantly contributed to the eventual passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920.

What did the national women's party reform?

The National Woman's Party (NWP) was a women's organization founded by Alice Paul and Lucy Burns in 1913 that fought for women's rights during the early 20th century in the United States, particularly for the right to vote on the same terms as men. The NWP put its priority on the passage of a constitutional amendment ensuring women's suffrage. After the Nineteenth Amendment gave women the vote in 1920, the NWP turned its attention to passage of an Equal Rights Amendment(ERA) to the Constitution.
