In 2022, Idaho erected a statue to commemorate women’s suffrage. Cast in bronze, the Spirit of Idaho Women depicts a lithe figure with an outstretched hand. Behind her stand twelve sets of shoes, those of the generations of women who came before, each decade of suffragists treading the path to enfranchisement. In her hand, she extends a shoe to the women of the future, inviting them to continue in the work that was begun by those with the courage to let people watch them fail.
