Next summer, Utahns can take a seat, look toward the state Capitol and see the words of the people who fought for women’s suffrage.
“Education and agitation are our best weapons of warfare,” said Sarah M. Kimball, president of the Utah Women’s Suffrage Association. “The era of women has begun and only in unison is our strength,” said Charlotte Godbe Kirby, a Utah women’s rights advocate in the 1870s and ’80s.
These quotes will be part of a sculpture announced this week that will be installed around August 2020 in Salt Lake City, to commemorate women’s history in advance of upcoming local and national celebrations.
