Physician and suffragist Amelia Keller, MD was the first woman to become a faculty member at Indiana University School of Medicine. Specializing in gynecology and pediatrics, Dr. Keller served as associate professor of diseases of children from 1908 to 1919.

Dr. Keller was also one of the first female physicians practicing in Indianapolis, having started her practice in the city in 1895. Espousing equal pay for women and their entrance into public sectors, Keller co-founded the Woman’s Franchise League of Indiana in 1911. These efforts helped secure Indiana’s 1920 ratification of the 19th Amendment.

We would like to recognize the organizations, units, and individuals that worked to make this opportunity possible: Indiana Historical Bureau; Faculty Affairs, Professional Development, and Diversity; Ruth Lilly Medical Library; IUPUI Office for Women; IUPUI School of Liberal Arts.
