Statue of a Liberated Woman, Bronze statue in central Baku, Azerbaijan.
The Statue of a Liberated Woman is a bronze work in central Baku featuring a standing figure with raised arms. The monument occupies a public space and serves as an orientation point with benches in the surrounding area.
The monument was created during the Soviet period and reflects social changes of the 1960s when women increasingly participated in education and professional fields. That era marked a fundamental reshaping of Azerbaijani social structures.
The statue embodies a shift in Azerbaijani society that redefined women's roles in public life. Its raised arm is a visible sign of self-determination and participation in the modern city.
The monument is easily accessible in a public area with seating nearby. Visitors can explore it at any time of day and often use it as a meeting point or navigation aid when exploring the city.
Architect Mikayil Useynov combined Soviet modernist principles with traditional Azerbaijani artistic elements in this work. This blend of styles shapes how the statue appears and functions in the urban space today.
