In 1895, Kate was introduced to socialism by Eugene Debs, and later met Mother Jones and other socialists in Kansas City, where she lived. Kate joined the Socialist Labor Party in 1899, which she left in 1901 to help found the Socialist Party of America. She married fellow socialist Frank P. O'Hare in 1902. A socialist leader, she spoke across America against WWI and for women's suffrage. After delivering a speech in Bowman, ND in July 1917, she was arrested and indicted by the federal government under the 1917 Espionage Act. She was found guilty in a Bismarck, ND court in Dec. 1917 and sentenced to serve five years. Her sentence was commuted in 1920. Kate then began a crusade for prison reform, remaining active in politics and education until her death in California on Jan. 12, 1948.
