Mountains To Manuscript: Women Who Love The West

<p>As the state of Wyoming remembers the 150th anniversary of women’s suffrage in Wyoming in 2019 and Jackson Hole celebrates the 100th anniversary of its all-woman town council in 2020, the Jackson Hole Historical Society and Museum has dedicated a series of exhibits and programs around these defining historical themes. Curated in collaboration with Christy Smirl of Foxtail Books & Library Services, this multi-media exhibit features four female author profiles illustrated through books, text, photographs, objects, and original artwork by Katy Ann Fox. The museum will also install a traveling exhibit in January from the University of Wyoming’s American Heritage Center entitled “<strong>Wyoming Women</strong>.” The exhibit includes 30 framed historic photographs of Wyoming women throughout history, specifically highlighting the leadership roles they pursued in their family, in the outdoors, and in their community. </p> <p>Huge thank you to Morgan, Christy, Jenna, and Katy!</p> <p> </p>
