Margaret Cousins took a prominent lead in organizing the Women’s Indian Association (WIA) in 1917.

The Women’s Indian Association (WIA) was founded in 1917 in Adyar, Madras (Chennai). It was the first major feminist organization in India. Its founders included prominent figures like Annie Besant, Dorothy Jinarajadasa, and Margaret Cousins. Margaret Cousins, an Irish-Indian suffragette and educationist, played a crucial role in establishing and leading the organization, advocating for women’s suffrage, education, and social reform.
