| Summary | "Jailed for Freedom" by Doris Stevens is a historical account written in the early 20th century, documenting the intense campaign for women's suffrage in America from 1913 to 1919. The book provides a vivid portrayal of the militant approach the suffragists adopted, emphasizing key figures like Susan B. Anthony and Alice Paul, and their relentless fight for the passage of the national suffrage amendment. It highlights the struggles, protests, and political maneuvers that defined this pivotal movement in the quest for women's political rights. At the start of the narrative, Doris Stevens establishes the background of the women's suffrage movement, pointing out the transition from traditional advocacy to militant action that characterized the later years of the fight. She introduces Susan B. Anthony as the pioneer militant suffragist who faced legal repercussions for voting and showcases Alice Paul as the new leader who reinvigorated the movement with her strategic and assertive tactics. The opening chapters set the tone for a complex blend of political action, personal sacrifice, and the overarching theme of women's rights as they navigate societal and governmental opposition in their bid for enfranchisement.
