The National Statuary Hall Collection is one of America's most prominent memorials to outstanding citizens.
Located in the U.S. Capitol Building, the collection features 100 statues of distinguished Americans, two from each state.
In Statuary Hall, the original House Chamber, there is only one statue of a woman out of 38 statues displayed.
There are nine statues of women and ninety-one statues of men in the entire Collection which is displayed throughout the Capitol.
Equal Visibility Everywhere's “Put a Woman in Statuary Hall” project is dedicated to correcting this gender representation imbalance.
Currently, Equal Visibility Everywhere is leading efforts in multiple states to replace statues of men with statues of women in the National Statuary Hall Collection.
Bills authorizing statues of Amelia Earhart (Kansas), Mary McLeod Bethune (Florida), Willa Cather (Nebraska), Martha Hughes Cannon (Utah) and Daisy Bates (Arkansas) have been signed into law.
