Abstract

This honors thesis is an historical look at the women who have served in the Indiana General Assembly since the ratification of the 19th Amendment by the Indiana Legislature in 1920.This perspective is written chronologically and broken down into chapters relative to movements that occurred in Indiana women's history. These chapters identify the women who have served, their backgrounds, and the issues that they faced during these periods.The information contained within these pages was found in the `women in politics' and `women in the Indiana Legislature' clipping files located on the first floor of the Indiana State Library, Indianapolis, IN.
