At the Summit
This is an “unofficial” member of our series, a large 3-foot-by-4-foot steamroller print we created at the 2010 Wayzgoose Festival in Tacoma, WA. We printed this piece in honor of the centennial of women’s suffrage in Washington state.The illustration is based on the deeds of Dr. Cora Smith Eaton King, turn-of-the-century women’s rights activist who fought for women’s suffrage in her home state of Washington (Cora is also one of the feminists featured in our Just Desserts broadside). In 1909, along with a party of Seattle Mountaineers that included famed photographer Asahel Curtis, Cora climbed Mount Rainier and planted a Votes for Women flag at the summit. The flag is still in the crater of the mountain to this day, buried under layers of snow and ice.
