A new book uncovers a quiet revolution in stone and bronze, the growing number of statues honouring remarkable women across the capitalFor centuries, London’s cityscape has been shaped by statues of male soldiers, statesmen and monarchs. As recently as 2021, fewer than one in six of the capital’s public statues commemorated named women. Since then, however, more statues honouring women have been unveiled than in the entire second half of the 20th century. In 2023, the balance tipped for the first time, as more women than men were commemorated in new statues. Main image: Juliet Rix London’s Statues of Women by Juliet Rix is available to buy here
