Statue of Alice Hawkins, Bronze statue in Leicester Market, England
The bronze sculpture stands 7 feet tall on a 4-foot plinth, depicting Alice Hawkins with her right arm raised in a speaking position.
The statue commemorates Alice Hawkins, a shoe machinist turned suffragette who was arrested five times for participating in women's rights protests during the early 1900s.
The monument represents the first public statue of a named woman in Leicester County, marking a shift in recognizing women's contributions through public art.
Located in Green Dragon Square, the statue serves as an educational landmark where school groups gather to learn about the suffrage movement in Britain.
The 800-pound bronze figure was funded by local businessman Jamie Lewis and trade unions, with a total cost of £62,400 for its creation.
