Monument to Women Memorial Garden, Bronze statuary monument in Nauvoo, Illinois, US

The Monument to Women Memorial Garden is a two-acre garden behind the Historic Nauvoo Visitors Center, laid out by designer Durell Nelson and holding twelve bronze statues by Dennis Smith and Florence Hansen. The figures stand in landscaped grounds and show stages of a woman's life, from a pioneer woman with a child to later roles. The 1933 Relief Society monument was moved onto this site in 1988.

The garden replaced a 1933 Relief Society monument that George Albert Smith and Louise Robison had placed on the former site of Joseph Smith's Red Brick Store; it was moved to the temple site in 1952 and to this garden in 1988. In 1973 Belle S. Spafford asked for a replacement, and Barbara B. Smith led the project as a response to the Equal Rights Amendment. Dennis Smith and Florence Hansen signed contracts on February 4, 1976, and Spencer W. Kimball dedicated the garden on June 30, 1978.

The sculptures depict motherhood, education, personal growth, and service in women's lives. Walking through the garden, you encounter different moments and roles that shaped women's experiences across generations.

The garden occupies a two-acre site behind the church's Nauvoo visitors' center, chosen by Barbara B. Smith and Edythe K. Watson. Durell Nelson designed the park and served as its caretaker after dedication, while Otis Hamilton managed the volunteers who gardened the grounds. Visitors walk among the twelve statues on the landscaped site.

The dedication spanned June 27–30, 1978, opening on the anniversary of Joseph Smith's death, when nearly 7,200 Latter-day Saint women gathered. A 240-member cast from the Champaign Illinois Stake performed the outdoor musical Because of Elizabeth, whose music was recorded in London and chorus in California.
