On August 26, 2020, the Women’s Rights Pioneers Monument was unveiled depicting three historic women’s rights leaders – Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Sojourner Truth – all hailing from New York State.
Since the 2020 unveiling, Monumental Women has worked to increase awareness and appreciation of women’s history through a nationwide education campaign. To help with this endeavor, Monumental Women embarked on a fundraising campaign for the creation of a 1/3-size model of the Women’s Rights Pioneers Monument for the New York State Museum‘s collections.
The New York State Museum has announced a Women’s Rights Pioneers Monument event has been set for Wednesday, March 8th, in the Huxley Theater.
This program will begin at 1 pm and is free and open to the public. For more information visit the New York State Museum website or email nysmhistory@nysed.gov.
