Woman’s Benefit Association The Woman’s Benefit Association was founded as a non-profit life insurance organization by Sabina “Bina” West Miller on October 1, 1892 in Port Huron, Michigan. Its earliest foundations stem from the Knights of the Maccabees fraternal organization, which was originally only opened to men, and then as the Ladies of the Modern Maccabees. The organization’s name was changed to the Woman’s Benefit Association in the early 20th Century. The W.B.A. was founded primarily as a dues-paying network and support group exclusively for women with local chapters throughout the United States.
