Minnie Priest Dunton

Minnie Priest Dunton (February 29, 1864 – July 13, 1921) was an American suffragist and Idaho State Librarian. She was an early advocate of women's rights in Idaho, and she served as an Idaho State Librarian from 1907 to 1915. She worked with other women to implement the 19th Amendment in Idaho. She became the first woman to be appointed as the State Librarian in Idaho. This convention mainly focused on suffrage and sobriety. To gain more support, efforts were also made to combine suffrage campaign with the Temperance movement. She resigned this position in 1915 over a salary dispute.

Her house constructed in 1899 in Boise, Idaho, United States, was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 17, 1982.

She died in Boise, Idaho, on July 13, 1921.
