Jailed for Freedom

Jailed for Freedom is a book by Doris Stevens. Originally published in 1920, it was reissued by New Sage Press in 1995 in commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. This commemorative edition was edited by Carol O'Hare to update the language for a modern audience. Jailed for Freedom was reissued again in 2020 in a 100th anniversary edition.

The Historical Journal of Massachusetts characterizes the book as "a lengthy and sympathetic account of these events". Johanna Neumann in The Wall Street Journal ranked Jailed for Freedom number one on her list of the five best books on the fight for women's suffrage. Jailed for Freedom is extensively quoted in Encyclopædia Britannica's Annals of American History in the essay "Suffragettes Criminals or Political Prisoners?"
