about the Millicent Fawcett statue

[ConferencePear]

I'm pleased she has a statue.
I just wish she wasn't carrying a banner/placard.
Am I the only one ?

yanbu
i recognised her name but had to google to find out who she is. i imagine I am not the only one. a banner would tell everyone .

Why do you wish she wasn't carrying one?

i misread sorry
yabu i wish it said more

Beautifully sculpted, such detail. Apparently, the brooch is an exact replica of a brooch she owned.

Why, OP?

I'm not sure. I think I would just prefer it if she wasn't carrying anything, none of the others statues are. Somehow it seems to detract from the image of her.

I think the statue isn't great. But I like the idea of having a woman represented and I like that they chose Fawcett over one of the Pankhursts.
