Free Ways to Celebrate Women’s History in Richmond
Virginia Women’s Monument: in Capitol Square depicts 12 women from around the Commonwealth as bronze statues. Each woman is from a different area of Virginia, and made a unique contribution to history.
An artist, teacher, physician and seamstress are only a few of the professions represented by these outstanding women. While paying homage to these women and their work, the monument serves as a reminder that one can make change from anywhere, by using individual gifts.
Virginia War Memorial proudly displays a wall of photos recognizing female veterans, both past and present.
Each of the aforementioned activities is FREE for families. Richmond locals are fortunate to have so many opportunities to celebrate and recognize the female change-makers in our area.
