Jailed for Freedom

A vivid chronicle of the fierce campaign that finally secured the right to vote for American women, this work plunges listeners into the streets of Washington, the cramped cells of the Occoquan Workhouse, and the relentless picket lines that defined the movement from 1913 to 1919. Through striking illustrations and first‑hand accounts, it captures the daring tactics of leaders like Alice Paul and Lucy Burns, the mass arrests that shocked the nation, and the fierce solidarity that turned protest into a powerful political force.

The narrative balances the raw drama of militant action with thoughtful analysis of the strategic thinking behind it, showing how protest, sacrifice, and clever political maneuvering combined to push a constitutional amendment through Congress. Listeners will hear the voices of women who faced jail, endured public scorn, and ignited a nationwide conversation that ultimately reshaped American democracy.
