Now that there are plans to get the statue of Mary Wollstonecraft, that was rejected by the Stoke Newington group, made - where should it go?

Ideally the tinsel fairy should be banished to some arty fart gallery or Islington Town Hall, and the second one have pride of place near the building where she set up her school for girls. But too many egos wont let this happen.

I'm asking because I realised I dont know much about her life, and hadnt realised she had live not just in London, but Wales (where?), Bath, Paris and ...

With so many knowledgeable mumsnettters where would be a prime spot?

By the second statue I mean the one by Martin Jennings that was rejected. He has designed(?) the Women of Steel statue and one of Mary Seacole. (Although I am sure there are women who have made great statues of women ... )

Bump.

The crowdfunder has slowed down considerably.
It is something I feel we can safely share on social media, as it is not about trans at all and most people agree that the present one is a monstrosity. I shared it and got a few nice responses.

The current one could be auctioned. I wonder if it would fetch 143,000?

Not even if it was solid silver. Not worth even close for scrap.

I know, I wasn't serious. Maybe stick it on Cash in the attic.

Or one of those ads on tv where they sell your silver...

Someone should stick a For Sale sign on it.
