ID SCR118

Establishes March 14 as Idaho Women's Day to acknowledge the influence, impact, and importance of women in Idaho's past, present, and future

Recognizes that on March 14, 1891, Idaho's first State Legislature adopted Emma Edwards Green's design for the Idaho State Seal, the only state seal ever designed by a woman

Notes the Idaho State Seal depicts a woman and man as equal representatives of Idaho's unlimited potential, symbolizing women's representation of justice, liberty, and equity

Highlights that Idaho approved women in the state seal five years before granting women the right to vote in 1896, more than twenty years before the 1920 ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment

Marks the 2020 centennial of the Nineteenth Amendment as an appropriate time to honor women leaders and encourage women to exercise their voting rights
