Idaho Women’s Day 2026
Idaho Women’s Day was created to honor the influence, impact, and importance of women in Idaho’s past, present, and future. March 14 was chosen because on March 14, 1891, Idaho’s first State Legislature adopted the Great Seal of the State of Idaho, designed by Emma Edwards Green—the only woman to design a state seal. It’s a meaningful part of our history and a reminder of the vital role women have always played in shaping our state.
