Tennessee Confederate Women's Monument, Bronze monument at Tennessee State Capitol, Nashville, United States
The Tennessee Confederate Women's Monument features a bronze sculpture depicting a woman assisting a Confederate soldier while Fame places a laurel wreath.
Belle Kinney Scholz created this monument in 1926 after the United Confederate Veterans commissioned it to honor women's contributions during the Civil War.
The monument reflects the societal perspectives of 1920s Tennessee through inscriptions on its marble base about mothers, wives, daughters, and sisters.
Visitors can find the monument on the grounds of the Tennessee State Capitol, where it stands on a ten-foot marble base.
The sculptor modified the initial design following protests regarding feminine representation, resulting in alterations to the final bronze composition.
