Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

American women fought hard, and many paid dearly, to win the right to vote. Stevens saw action in the front lines of the battle and was one of the dozens of women imprisoned for picketing the White House. First published in 1920, this long-out-of-print book offers Stevens's firsthand account of the women who endured the indifference of Congress and President Woodrow Wilson, the abuse by the press and the police, beatings at the hands of mobs and forced feedings in foul workhouses to force passage of the 19th Amendment. Although Jailed for Freedom was conceived as a history of the National Woman's Party (NWP), O'Hare has edited out the "minute detail of legislative politics, author bias, and verbiage," leaving a vivid partisan account that clearly conveys the excitement of both battle and victory.

From School Library Journal

YA?Originally written as a history of the National Woman's Party, this revision of the 1920 edition makes its timely appearance in the year we celebrate the 75th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th amendment. O'Hare has edited Stevens's lively, first-person account for flow and continuity, but attempted to retain the integrity of the original in tone and content. A lengthy introduction by Edith Mayo gives a capsule history of the women's suffrage movement and describes the strategies and personalities of the leaders. The narrative opens on the day before Woodrow Wilson's inauguration?March 13, 1913. Through descriptions of struggles and setbacks, Stevens shows her group's remarkable resilience in the face of adversity. Black-and-white photos appear throughout. A readable primary source.?Patricia Q. Noonan, Prince William Public Library, Manassas, VA

Many frogs kissed

It took so much to achieve the 19th Amendment

Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2018

One of the few autobiographies written by suffragists, this is a riveting narrative of what it took to force the system to give women the vote. Both parties didn’t have clean hands although the a Republicans are. Bit better than the Democrats, and President Wilson comes across as faint hearted and hard hearted. It is amazing to read about the various strategies created by the movement and how much it took to reach the desired goal.

A book that tells herstory....

Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2013

Jailed for Freedom is a book about the struggles of the brave and fearless women who sacrificed all for the right to be considered a human being. The book is the basis for the movie Iron Jawed Angels that I have shown all of my Women's Studies classes who felt deprived that this part of history was kept from them. The information contained in this book is an illuminating glimpse into the times and trials of the brave women who struggled, sacrificed and at great expense under the huge societal sentiments of denial succeeded in a right, that so few of us cherish, the basic right to vote and thus be franchised not some chattel as all of society had placed us. After reading this book the lives of Alice Paul and her suffragists will be forever emblazoned upon the minds of both women and men and no longer one sentence in a history book that said "After a fight by Susan B. Anthony the women were given the vote in 1920".We were given nothing of the sort. It had to be fought for over a period of 100 years...a right that should have been awarded along with the declaration of independence when the nation was founded in 1776. Well done herstory!

This is a great book but a very bad edition

Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2016

This is a great book but a very bad edition, cut almost in half with great loss to the proper understanding of the sequence and relation of events. The book should be reprinted in its entirety, especially in time for the 100th anniversary of the 19th amendment. New Sage Press please consider.

BEST on the subject of getting the vote for women

Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2017

"Jailed for Freedom" is the single most detail-filled book on the last push for the vote that I've ever read. It is a constant reference for my work own and an honor to read over and over again. It is clearly and concisely written, and wonderfully informative. The Best.

I like this book. It has a lot of great and very interesting information. There are sections that get a little too wordy, but I really enjoyed this book and am now looking for other stuff to read of this subject.

A wonderful must read for students!

This text provides a rare glimpse into the lives of suffragettes in the early twentieth century. All students should be required to read this struggle for the vote. Few know about the hunger strikes suffragettes such as Alice Paul and Lucy Burns endured.

Love this book and very informative...women will always be second class citizens to men. There are not much equal rights for women especially in pay in the 21st century!
