Doris Stevens (1888–1963) was an American suffragist and writer. Her representative work, Jailed for Freedom, documents the struggle for women's voting rights in the United States, particularly the detention and resistance experienced by those involved. Public information about her life is limited; what can be confirmed is that her main contribution centers on the women's suffrage movement and her writing about it. Her work preserves a segment of this social movement from a first-hand perspective, offering later generations a primary account of the history of the fight for women's suffrage and giving her a certain value within the literature on the subject.
