Past Influential Idaho Women Scarce?

The most frequent specific reaction to the book Martin Peterson and I just released, Idaho 100: The people who most influenced the Gem State , is this: Only five women out of 100 people? Really? The same thought occurred to us as we populated the list. Were we, for some reason, just missing a lot of women who really ought to be on the list? We concluded we weren’t, at least not by the criteria we had set for the book. The reasons say something about the actual past and actual present of Idaho. We weren’t saying women collectively didn’t influence the course of Idaho. Idaho became civilized as the female population increased; in politics, women were the main backers of prohibition, education and temperance, among other things. Many of the men on our list were strongly influenced by women, one way or another, and many women had a lot of specific, individual effect. But individual leaders among women, especially early in Idaho’s history, are harder to find/ Randy Stapilus , Ridenbaugh Press. More here.

Question: Can you think of influential Idaho women from days gone by that should be in a book re: the 100 most influential Idahoans ever?
