MISSION
Throughout Wyoming’s history, its women have been brave, strong, and impactful. The mission of Women in Wyoming is to tell the inspiring stories of contemporary Wyoming women through art and media, celebrating their achievements, power, and learned wisdom.
From artists to politicians, ranchers, authors, businesswomen, and community stewards, the project highlights some of Wyoming’s changemakers, rule breakers, and innovators through podcast interviews and portrait photography.
By illuminating the power of women through art and media, Women in Wyoming is dedicated to pioneering a platform to promote the integrity, diversity, and profound legacy of Wyoming women and girls.
“Lindsay energizes, enriches and encourages the vision, voice, and visibility of Wyoming women. This is an important body of work … for today, and Wyoming’s future.”
Why Now?
History of Pioneering Firsts
In 1869, Wyoming became the first known territory in the free world to recognize women’s right to vote and hold office, over 50 years before the 19th amendment was ratified and recognized suffrage for women nationally.
In the years that followed, Wyoming also gave the country its first female Governor, Justice of the Peace, all woman jury and first woman to cast a vote.
Rising Leaders
The goal of Women in Wyoming is to urge today and tomorrow's trailblazing, ambitious, community-minded women and girls to step forward and fulfill their highest ambitions in life.
