Mama Went to Jail for the Vote (2005) is a children’s picture book by Kathleen Karr about the American women’s suffrage movement. The story is told from the perspective of a young girl whose mother is an activist fighting for the right to vote. When her mother goes to jail for her protests, the girl must make sense of why her mother chose this fight and what it means for their family.

The book puts a personal face on a major historical event, making the suffrage movement understandable to young children. Karr, who often wrote about strong-willed characters pushing against the limits of their time, was well suited to this subject. The book was illustrated by Malene R. Laugesen and published by Hyperion Books for Children.
