Cavalier Galleries is proud to announce that the bill to establish a women's suffrage monument by Jane DeDecker in Washington DC has been approved!
Marking the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, the President signed the bill in December 2020, authorizing a federal monument to the women's suffrage movement to honor the activists who won women the right to vote.
The sculpture, titled Every Word We Utter, features Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Sojourner Truth, Harriot Stanton Blatch, Ida B. Wells, and Alice Paul.
Jane DeDecker has co-founded the Every Word We Utter campaign in order to support the creation of her monument, which will be the first in Washington, DC to honor women's suffrage. In a statement, DeDecker said “It is fitting to close this year — the centennial of women’s suffrage — with this strong declaration for the history and legacy of the women’s suffrage movement. Women deserve this commemoration, and the battles for equality that continue today deserve it, too.”
Support the creation of this historic monument by making a donation to the Every Word We Utter Campaign, or by purchasing a work by Jane DeDecker below. To learn more please visit everywordweutter.com
