After graduating from Oberlin College in 1911, Doris Stevens joined Alice Paul at NAWSA’s Congressional Committee, later becoming a leader in the National Woman’s Party. Her 1920 book Jailed for Freedom, chronicling the White House protests of the “silent sentinels” and their arrests, harsh sentences, and abuse in prison, provides a vivid counterpoint to NAWSA’s History of Woman Suffrage. Stevens married Wilson administration official Dudley Field Malone in 1921; they divorced in 1929.
