Actual name of statue edit
The best information I have is that the actual name of this statue is "Mother Of Feminism." Even the articles cited as sources in this wiki page agree with me, so why insist on calling it something else!? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Allthenamesarealreadytaken (talk • contribs) 08:04, 13 November 2020 (UTC)
- What's your best information based on, and which sources call the statue that? I can only see some that refer to Wollstonecraft herself as "mother of feminism". They all call the statue itself "A Sculpture for Mary Wollstonecraft". --Lord Belbury (talk) 09:37, 13 November 2020 (UTC)
A second monument for Mary edit
A crowd funding project has started raising money to build Martin Jennings' proposal, with his participation. I haven't been able to find a reference for this from a reliable secondary source, though. Ground Zero | t 13:12, 13 November 2020 (UTC)
