Jailed for Freedom
"Jailed for Freedom" by Doris Stevens is a firsthand account published in 1920. Stevens documents her involvement with the National Woman's Party and their militant fight for women's suffrage, focusing on the Silent Sentinels who picketed the White House beginning in 1917. The book chronicles the arrests, imprisonment, and brutal treatment faced by over 200 suffragists who stood against President Woodrow Wilson, demanding passage of the Nineteenth Amendment. Stevens reveals the violent backlash these women endured while fighting for their right to vote.
