Among these were The Helen Hunt Club of Cambridge City, which originally began as The Two O'clock Club, who stated that "With an earnest desire to obtain a higher degree of literary culture, a greater fund of knowledge, and a better appreciation of the dignity of womanhood, we associate ourselves together as a club" (Croly, 436). This club did not even restrict itself to esoteric pursuits, but actively engaged in a political and historical study and analysis of the United States, which necessarily colored their perspectives and enlightened them on current political issues such as the suffrage movement (Croly, 436).

Intermingled with the issue of women's suffrage we find issues of women's education, rights to property, and a host of other inequalities. Often, these issues are brought to light when one individual's story wrings another's heart, and the information is passed around communities in an outrage. The women's suffrage movement was in many ways an outgrowth of just such individual stories. The community groups of Indiana were instrumental in securing the rights and freedoms of women in that state.
