Dublin, Indiana – clear across the state – was the site of a gathering of people for woman suffrage in 1851, a few short years after the official ‘start’ of the woman suffrage movement in Seneca Falls, New York, in 1848. Women from Terre Haute made significant contributions to the woman suffrage movement, both statewide and nationally. Which Terre Haute woman was president of the state Franchise League when the 19th Amendment was passed in 1920? Who met Susan B. Anthony when Eugene V. Debs brought her to town and what relationship developed? Were Indiana State Normal students and faculty active in the suffrage movement? These are just some of the people and historical moments you will learn about in this presentation. You will also get to sing some songs of the suffragists! A complete history of the Indiana movement can be found in the book, “We Must Be Fearless": the woman suffrage movement in Indiana by IUPUI history professor Dr. Anita Morgan, Indiana Historical Society Press, 2020.
