A Sculpture for Mary Wollstonecraft, Bronze and granite sculpture in Newington Green, United Kingdom.
The sculpture features a small silver female figure emerging from an abstract mass of undulating bronze forms mounted on a black granite base.
Created by artist Maggi Hambling in 2020, this memorial honors Mary Wollstonecraft, the influential writer who published 'A Vindication of the Rights of Woman' in 1792.
The inscription on the base includes Wollstonecraft's statement 'I do not wish women to have power over men but over themselves', reflecting feminist principles.
The memorial stands opposite Newington Green Unitarian Church, where visitors can observe the sculpture at any time without admission fees.
The fundraising campaign for this sculpture took ten years to collect £143,000, demonstrating strong community support for women's representation in public art.
