This piece is a celebration of the first 15 women to successfully vote in a Washington Territorial election on June 6, 1870.
In 1867 the Washington Territorial Legislature passed a law giving the right to vote "to all white citizens above the age of 21." This law became the rallying point for women's suffrage advocates who also cited the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which defined "citizen" as being "all persons born or naturalized in the United States."
Each pair of shoes is a unique characterization of each of these women, and functions as acknowledgment and appreciation for their endless campaigning on foot. Their shoes carried them through it all.
Look closely and you will see three current “I voted” stickers. These serve as a purposeful message to present-day voters to remember the dedicated work of the past and to carry on with the duty.
