Indiana Woman's Suffrage Association

This sign was installed in Dublin, IN in 2003 by Indiana Historical Bureau, Indiana Women's History Association, Indiana Commission for Women, and Town of Dublin.[1]

The Indiana Woman's Suffrage Association (IWSA) began on October 15, 1851, in Dublin, Wayne County, Indiana.[2] IWSA was created for men and women to fight for women's right to vote. The association held annual conventions for 26 years.[3] People traveled from all over the state to find resolutions for the political, social, and financial inequalities for women. The ISWA was first referred to as American Woman Suffrage Association.
