Bronze Woman
The Bronze Woman is many things – she is the first public monument of a black woman in England, a symbol of the contribution of Caribbean, and indeed all, women to society and proof that people who have the courage to pursue their dreams can inspire others to great achievements.
The Bronze Woman Monument was revealed in south London’s Stockwell Memorial Garden on October 8, 2008.
"This monument is incredibly symbolic, as it celebrates the many splendid achievements and contributions that women from the Caribbean and the African Diaspora have made towards the life and cultural heritage of this country.
I believe it is important not only for the black community, but for all the people of the United Kingdom to acknowledge the past and the values we share; and to acknowledge how much we owe each other. The Caribbean - its past, present and future - is a subject very close to my own heart and I was delighted to be part of this tremendous celebration".
