    Description

    by Doris Stevens (Author)

    "A powerful true story of protest, prison, and political transformation-told by one of the women who lived it."

    Jailed for Freedom is Doris Stevens' firsthand account of the suffragists who dared to defy power-and paid the price for it. Arrested for picketing the White House, these women faced brutal conditions, hunger strikes, and public scorn to demand what democracy had long denied: the vote.

    Written in 1920 by a leading member of the National Woman's Party, this landmark narrative captures the courage, strategy, and sacrifices that fueled one of the most pivotal movements in American history. Stevens doesn't just document events-she invites readers into the heart of the struggle for women's rights, offering an unfiltered view of political imprisonment, public protest, and the relentless fight for justice.

    As voting rights and gender equality remain urgent issues today, Jailed for Freedom offers not only a gripping historical record but a timeless guide to activism and resistance.

    This special edition includes:

    • A Modern Introduction
    • Contextualizing the suffrage movement and connecting its bold tactics to today's fight for equity and justice.
    • A Biographical Sketch of Doris Stevens
    • Highlighting her legacy as a suffragist, political prisoner, and international advocate for women's legal equality.
    • Curated Further Reading and Inspiration
    • Featuring essential books, scholarship, and contemporary cultural works that carry the legacy of the suffragists into the present-on page, stage, and screen.

    Perfect for readers of:

    women's history, civil rights movements, political memoirs, feminist classics, and grassroots activism.

    Jailed for Freedom is more than a record of the past-it's a blueprint for the future. Whether you're an activist, educator, or history lover, this book will move you, challenge you, and remind you what it takes to make democracy real.
