That just five women were included in "Idaho 100: The people Who Most Influenced the Gem State" didn’t go over well with some readers.

Ambrose’s Idaho 100 nominees include Congresswoman Gracie Pfost, missionaries Eliza Spalding and Narcissa Whitman, and Marie Dorian, a Native American who led white men to Oregon six years after Sacagawea accompanied Lewis and Clark.
