Jane Wyse Power (Irish: Siobhán Bean an Phaoraigh; née O'Toole; 1 May 1858 – 5 January 1941) was an Irish nationalist, feminist, politician and businesswoman who was a founder member of Sinn Féin and also of Inghinidhe na hÉireann. She rose to become one of the most important women of the struggle against British rule. Wyse Power supported the Anglo-Irish Treaty and gave up her position as president of Cumann na mBan to form a new organisation called Cumann na Saoirse. She later held several senior posts in the Dáil.
