Utah's Monumetal Women

Utah’s Monumental Women honors women  whose lives left a lasting imprint on Utah’s history and public life. Each honoree shares a meaningful connection to Utah and is remembered for their contributions that extended beyond personal achievement to shape communities, expand opportunity, and strengthen civic life. Their stories, reflecting ‘Utah’s Monumental Women,’ are grounded in documented history and showcase leadership, courage, creativity, and service across various fields such as education, public health, civil rights, the arts, environmental stewardship, and public policy. The initiative serves as a tribute to these remarkable women. Most importantly, their legacies endure — reflected in the institutions, movements, and values that continue to shape Utah today.
