FOR CHANGE...TRAIL
BLAZERS AND BARRIER
BREAKERS...EVEN BEYOND
IDAHO'S BORDERS.
FROM SACAJAWEA TO
KRISTIN
ARMSTRONG...WHICH IS
QUITE A RANGE.
PHOTOJOURNALIST KEVIN
ESLINGER GOT A SNEAK
PEEK AT THE IDAHO STATE
MUSEUM'S LATEST
INTERACTIVE EXHIBITION,
HONORING DOZENS OF
IDAHO WOMEN CREDITED
WITH CREATING AND
DEFINING IDAHO HISTORY.
I THINK THE BIGGEST
MESSAGE
MESSAGE IS THAT ANYONE CAN BE A TRAILBLAZER.
THIS
THIS EXHIBIT FEATURES OVER 100 WOMEN, ALL FROM OR LIVING IN
IDAHO. THE WOMEN
FEATURED IN THIS EXHIBIT
ARE FROM ALL WALKS OF
LIFE, FROM ALL PARTS OF
THE STATE, HAVE
IMPACTED EVERYTHING
FROM THEIR VERY SMALL
LOCAL COMMUNITY, ALL
THE WAY UP TO THE
NATIONAL LEVEL.
MY NAME IS SARAH
PHILLIPS, AND THIS
EXHIBIT IS TRAILBLAZING
WOMEN OF IDAHO.
WE WANTED TO MAKE
SURE THAT VISITORS
REALLY UNDERSTAND THE
IMPACT OF PEOPLE'S
STORIES AND
UNDERSTAND THAT
WOMEN FROM THE PAST
AFFECT US IN THE
PRESENT, AND CAN
INSPIRE US INTO THE
FUTURE.
GABBY LEMIEUX, SHE'S A
SHOSHONE PAIUTE TRIBAL
MEMBER WHO IS ALSO A
PROFESSIONAL GOLFER.
SHE WORKS WITH THE
NIKE AND SEVEN PROJECT
TO REALLY INSPIRE OTHER
NATIVE AMERICANS TO
GET INTO PROFESSIONAL
SPORTS. ALSO, SHOWING
THAT WOMEN CAN DO
ANYTHING.
WE'VE GOT STORIES OF
BONNIE MCCARROLL WHO
WAS A RODEO STAR. SHE
WAS KNOWN AROUND
THE WORLD REALLY, AS
ONE OF THE FOREMOST
FEMALE
FEMALE RODEO STARS, HER LEGACY REALLY CHANGED WOMEN IN THE
RODEO AND KIND OF
SHOWED THAT IN A
MAN'S WORLD, THAT IS A
RODEO, WOMEN CAN BE
JUST AS SUCCESSFUL.
WE ARE EXTRAORDINARILY
FORTUNATE TO HAVE FIVE
GOLD MEDALS FEATURED
ALL
ALL IN
ALL IN ONE EXHIBIT. WE HAVE GOLD MEDALS FROM GRETCHEN FRAZIER,
MUFFY DAVIS, AND
KRISTIN ARMSTRONG.
WE ALSO HAVE ITEMS ON
EXHIBIT FROM EMMA
EDWARDS GREEN. SO THE
STATE
STATE SEAL WILL BE EXHIBITED FOR EVERYONE TO SEE AS WELL AS TO
OTHER PIECES OF HER
ARTWORK.
WE FEATURE LINDA
COPPLE TROUT. SHE'S THE
FIRST FEMALE SUPREME
COURT JUSTICE IN IDAHO,
WE'VE WORKED WITH HER
TO HAVE HER JUDICIAL
ROBES LOANED TO US FOR
THE DURATION OF THE
EXHIBIT.
EXHIBIT. TWO OF IDAHO'S WOMEN ASTRONAUTS BARBARA
MORGAN AND ELLEN
OCHOA HAVE LOANED US
THEIR FLIGHT SUITS.
MY FAVORITE STORY IS
ONE THAT ONLY A
HANDFUL OF PEOPLE, I
THINK, ARE FAMILIAR
WITH. MILDRED BAILEY
WAS A COEUR D'ALENE
TRIBAL MEMBER, AND SHE
ACTUALLY LAID THE
GROUNDWORK FOR
AMERICAN JAZZ SOUND
IN THE 1920S.
FRANK SINATRA AND
TONY
TONY BENNETT HAVE BOTH COMMENTED ON HER SOUND BEING KEY TO
THEIR SOUND SO THAT
REALLY KEY AMERICAN
JAZZ SOUND WAS HIGHLY
INFLUENCED BY A
WOMAN FROM IDAHO.
I HOPE PEOPLE WALK
AWAY FEELING
EMPOWERED.
UNDERSTAND THE LEGACY
OF WOMEN WHO CAME
BEFORE US. AND, YOU
KNOW, TO INSPIRE ALL OF
THE WOMEN OF THE
FUTURE.
SO HOW WERE THESE
WOMEN CHOSEN TO BE A
PART
PART OF
PART OF THE EXHIBIT? BY A STATEWIDE COMMITTEE... OF
WOMEN... WHO HELPED
IDENTIFY THESE
TRAILBLAZERS.
THAT EXHIBIT OPENS
TOMORROW AND RUNS
THROUGH THE END OF
NOVEMBER.
