Abstract

The goal of this study was to survey the woman suffrage movement in Indiana. It focused principally upon the leaders, the organizations, and the activities which compromised the movement.Efforts to achieve other rights for women and additional reform movements were also examined when their existence, their leadership or their activities affected the status of the woman suffrage movement in Indiana. In addition, attempts to achieve woman suffrage in other states and at the national level were noted when they had impact upon the Indiana movement.One rather curious fact which this study emphasized was that Indiana women were among the last to achieve suffrage, although they had organized the first state woman suffrage association. They did not achieve the vote until the nineteenth amendment provided it to all American women in 1920.
