• Amanda Way – ‘Mother of Indiana suffrage’
• Helen Gougar – Feisty publisher and lawyer based in Lafayette
• Zerelda Wallace – One of the founders of Indiana’s Equal Suffrage Society
• Women who moved into the national suffragist sphere
  • May Wright Sewall – Educator and civic organizer
  • Ida Husted Harper – Journalist; close friend and biographer of Susan B. Anthony
