There are 23 statues of historical figures in Central Park, but not one honors a woman. Together, we can change that.
After years of work, we’ve won approval to build a statue commemorating America’s women suffragists in New York City’s Central Park. Now we have to raise funds to commission and maintain that statue. We need your help.
Thanks to the New York State Museum in Albany for the "Breaking The Bronze Ceiling" exhibit of The Statue Fund's Design Competition winner for our Woman Suffrage Movement Monument.
Sculptor Meredith Bergmann's beautiful maquette will be on display at NYSM until March 31, 2019. We are especially grateful to Jennifer Lemak, Chief Curator of History, for her wonderful work to bring Women's History to the NYS Museum.

A Polish king. A Venezuelan military leader. A Prussian naturalist. Even a sled dog. But not a single woman.
By bringing the first statue of a woman to Central Park, we'll show the world that New York celebrates monumental women—and that women's equality matters to all of us.
