Book Synopsis
The 100th-anniversary special edition of Jailed for Freedom, the essential history and first-person account of the courageous and militant suffragists who fought for their right to vote.

First published in 1920, Jailed for Freedom is the courageous, true story of the militant suffragists who organized some of the first-ever, large scale demonstrations and protests on Washington. At a time when President Woodrow Wilson''s administration refused to acknowledge women''s voting rights as a tangible issue, the National Woman''s Party coalesced, organized, and fought a fierce battle for the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment with heroism, bravery, and radical vigilance.

What makes Jailed for Freedom especially compelling and such an important contribution to women''s history is that it is a personal testimony from a suffragist who persevered through it. With depth and clarity, Doris Stevens
