This article needs additional reference information. There are currently only two references, both of which contain the same facts. The first reference is from a website, Colorado Women's Hall of Fame but does not identify where the information for the article came from. The information contained in both references makes me wonder if the Hall of Fame information came directly from a chapter in the second, Extraordinary Women of the Rocky Mountains. --Capejoani (talk) 16:33, 30 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Caroline Spencer (1861 – 1928) was an American physician and suffragist who campaigned vigorously for women's rights, both in her home state of Colorado and on the national level.
Between 1917 and 1919, she was one of many women who became known as the Silent Sentinels, as they stood in front of the White House and carried pickets and banners for their cause. Although it was not illegal to picket, she was arrested on three occasions and imprisoned twice.
