Mothers of Gynecology Monument, Bronze memorial in downtown Montgomery, United States.

The Mothers of Gynecology Monument, by Michelle Browder, consists of three statues made from discarded metal: Anarcha Westcott at 15 feet, Lucy at 12 feet, and Betsy at 9 feet. Anarcha's womb, made by Deborah Shedrick, lies at her side filled with sharp objects; Betsy is pregnant and wears a crown of speculums; Lucy's hair is in Bantu knots made of bicycle chains.

The monument was unveiled on September 24, 2021, at 17 Mildred Street, near the National Memorial for Peace and Justice. It was created in response to the statue of J. Marion Sims that still stands on the capitol lawn in Montgomery. In 2018, a Sims statue in New York was taken down in protest of the torture of Anarcha, Betsey, Lucy, and other enslaved women he exploited.

The three figures are Anarcha Westcott, Betsey and Lucy, patients of J. Marion Sims, whose office stood nearby. Betsey's statue wears a crown of speculums and is inscribed with the names of enslaved women and female civil rights figures; Lucy's hair is worked into Bantu knots of bicycle chains. The monument answers the Sims statue still standing on the capitol lawn.

The monument stands outdoors at 17 Mildred Street, a short walk from the National Memorial for Peace and Justice, so it can be seen from the street without a ticket. The three figures differ in height: Anarcha Westcott reaches 15 feet, Lucy 12 feet and Betsy 9 feet, so look up rather than across.

Artist Michelle Browder created the monument in 2021 using recycled metal parts sourced from scrapyards and industrial sites. This material choice carries special meaning, showing how something powerful can emerge from discarded materials.
