Boston Women's Memorial, Bronze sculpture memorial on Commonwealth Avenue Mall, Boston, United States.
The memorial features three bronze statues of Abigail Adams, Lucy Stone, and Phillis Wheatley positioned at ground level with their pedestals.
Sculptor Meredith Bergmann completed this memorial in 2003 to honor three influential women who shaped American history through their writings and advocacy.
The memorial represents three different paths of female empowerment: political influence, civil rights activism, and literary achievement in colonial America.
Visitors can access the memorial year-round at 256 Commonwealth Avenue, where QR codes provide audio recordings about each historical figure.
Instead of standing atop pedestals, the figures interact with them as furniture pieces, writing on them or using them as supports.
