The
United States has at least 267 statues of real women. These statues are of
individual, real women who lived. I have included a description and short bio
on each of these outstanding women and I included the address for each site.
What sites are in your area?
During
my research I found many other historical markers, museums and monuments
honoring individual women, raising the profiles included in this book to 363.
At the end of the book you will find a state by state guide which not only
includes the 363 women profiled that are in your state but also the location of
Woman Veteran’s Memorials and other memorials and museums that honor the contributions
made by women.
What criteria had to be met to be included as one of the 363
Profiles?
1.
There
had to be a location you could physically visit.
2.
The
location had to be in the United States.
3.
The
location had to be in honor of a named woman that lived. Not simply a
representation of the female gender.
The women honored across the United States were born in a total of no less than 20 different countries:
There
was a portion of the women with an unknown birthplace.
About
284 of the women were born in the United States.
Nine
were born in the United Kingdom.
Six
born in Canada.
Four
ladies were born in Italy.
Three
from Germany.
Three
from Ireland.
Two
from Mexico.
One
from Africa.
One
from France.
One
from Chile.
One
from China.
One
from Egypt.
One
from The Netherlands.
One
from Lithuania.
One
from Ukraine.
One
from the Roman Empire.
One
born in Russia.
One
born in Poland.
One
was born in Luxembourg and one was born in North Macedonia.
State
by state I also listed memorials and monuments to Women Veteran’s, Pioneers and
more. I found and included 62 museums throughout
the United States that honor women or an individual woman. I hope you will
check them out! You will find many Historical Markers throughout the book that
marks the spot of an important site honoring a woman.
