Idaho: Its state seal is the only one designed by a woman. Emma Sarah Etine Edwards, the daughter of a former Missouri governor who settled in Idaho, won an 1890 contest with her design of a woman representing liberty and a man in miner’s garb, as well as elk horns and mountains as well as the Latin phrase “Esto Perpetua,” meaning “in perpetuity.” Not only did she get the glory of having designed the state seal, she won $100 in the contest.
