Helena Hill Weed

Helena Hill Weed (1875–1958) was an American suffragist, and a member of the National Woman's Party. The daughter of Connecticut congressman Ebenezer Hill, she studied geology at Vassar College and the Montana School of Mines before joining the suffragist movement. In 1917, she became one of the first women to be arrested for picketing the White House, having carried a banner stating "Governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed". She served three days in prison for this, and was apprehended again in January 1918 for applauding in court, for which she served a day in jail. In August of that year she was arrested for participating in the pro-suffrage Lafayette Square meeting at which her sister Elsie Hill spoke, for which Helena served fifteen days.
