National Woman's Party Members in Lafayette Park August 6, 1918

Lockrey was a member of the National Woman's Party (NWP) where she served on the NWP's National Advisory Council.[3] She participated in the August 6, 1918 demonstration at Lafayette Square in Washington, DC, 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]
