My Mother Went to Jail to Win the Vote: Diary of the Daughter of a Militant Suffragist

“Suppose your mother puts her heart and time into winning votes for women— real time, like going to jail. You might confess, like Betty Rogers, aged 10, that I really don’t care if women don’t get the vote. Then you discover what it feels like to want justice for your own cause and realize that you’ve spent your whole life learning how to protest. Here is a new and charming angle on the historic agitation for women suffrage, written by a granddaughter in this family.”—Ann D. Gordon, emeritus research professor of history at Rutgers University and Editor, Papers of Elizabeth Cady Stanton & Susan B. Anthony
