Statue of Millicent Fawcett, Bronze statue in Parliament Square, Westminster, United Kingdom.
The Statue of Millicent Fawcett is a bronze memorial in Parliament Square, Westminster. The figure holds a banner reading Courage Calls to Courage Everywhere, showing her at around age 50.
The memorial was placed in 2018 to mark a hundred years since women gained the vote in Britain. A petition with 74,000 signatures had called for a female figure to appear in the square.
The monument rises among eleven male sculptures and shows a leader of the voting rights movement. It was placed as the first female figure in Parliament Square and created by a female sculptor.
The plinth shows names and portraits of 59 people who campaigned for women's right to vote. The monument stands freely accessible in the square and can be viewed at any time.
The clothing shows carefully reproduced fabric patterns of a walking suit from the 1920s. These details reflect everyday dress worn during the voting rights campaign.
