I am a Montana Woman sticker
We’ve been here. The women of this great state— the rule-breakers, risk-takers, homemakers, go-getters— we aren’t anything new, and we aren’t going anywhere.
This sticker features 8 women from Montana’s history: women who stood their ground, defied the odds, and didn’t let anyone get in their way. They, among many others, paved the way for women today, just as we’ll do for the next generations to come.
3” sticker designed by yours truly, the owner ⁄ editor (Megan).
