Sarah Hunt Lockrey

Lockrey worked at the West Philadelphia Hospital for Women and the Elwyn School for the Feeble-Minded. She was a physician at Methodist Deaconess Home for more than two decades.^[1] She focused on improving women's healthcare, and specialized in gynecology and gynecological surgery. She was also a member of the American Medical Association (AMA), a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, and a member of the Medical Women's National Association (MWNA).^[3]

Lockrey was a member of the National Woman's Party (NWP), and served on the NWP's National Advisory Council.^[3] She participated in the August 6, 1918, demonstration at Lafayette Square, Washington, D.C., and was arrested and charges with "holding a meeting on public grounds" and sentenced to jail.^[4][1] Rather than serve her sentence, Dr. Lockrey paid a fine so that she could return to Philadelphia to perform surgery. In 1920, Lockry received the NWP's "prison pin."^[3]

Lockrey died in Philadelphia on November 8, 1929.^[1]
