Louisa Riley Louisa Riley was the founder of the Ithaca Women’s Club, an organization dedicated to working for women’s suffrage. Originally from Philadelphia, she moved to Ithaca to enable her son to attend Cornell, and founded the organization in 1895, ostensibly as a women’s “study club,” but in reality to work for women’s right to vote in the United States.
