Here is an overdue sequel to The Lexington Women’s Monument by Meredith Bergmann Brings Together and Celebrates Many, Many Inspiring Stories post from July 2024. Photos in that post included people engaging around the monument in celebration. Photos in this sequel focus on the forms and details of women or girls represented within the monument.
The goal here is to bring out how both sides* of the monument share distinct outlines while portraying notably different individuals. Historical information for each individual is easily accessed with Audio Guide on the LexSeeHer monument page. *north-facing and south-facing
Compare the matched images within panels on both sides to recognize this impressive aspect of the artist’s design, which multiplies the monument’s significance!
Individuals on both sides are bound by shared outlines but distinguished by their expressions, hair, clothing details, and what they hold. South-facing left panel’s portion identifies Eliza Cabot Follen, the Reader, and Ruth Morey. North-facing panel’s portion identifies Margery Milne Battin, Ellen Adelia Stone, and Julia Robbins. Read and hear about each one with LexSeeHer audioguides.
Some individuals are identified by roles ( i.e as Storyteller or Tea Burner below) rather than names, but also described in LexSeeHer Audio Guide,
