The Irish Housewives Association (IHA) was an influential pressure group founded in 1942 to speak out about injustices and the needs of Irish women, inside and outside the home. It was founded by Hilda Tweedy, along with Andree Sheehy-Skeffington, Susan Manning and Louie Bennett, and initially campaigned for school meals, free travel for pensioners and consumer protection.[1]
In 1947 the IHA affiliated to the International Alliance of Women.[1]
In 1968 it played a leading role in the setting up of the Council for the Status of Women (now the National Women's Council of Ireland).[1]
In 1992 the IHA dissolved itself.
