On our last visit to Puerto Rico, we wanted to pay tribute to Puerto Rico's national poetess Julia de Burgos (1914 – 1953) so we visited her larger-than-life sculpture that stands a few minutes walk from the Julia de Burgos Mausoleum.
In every new place we visit, we add to our travel places that celebrate local women's heritage.
More about Puerto Rico in the following posts.

We got so excited hearing the news that in December this year, the state of Arkansas will donate a statue of Daisy Bates to the National Statuary Hall Collection in the US Capitol in Washington, DC. The artist Benjamin Victor is in the process of sculpting this statue. It will be his 4th statue in the US Capitol, one of which is the statue of Sarah Winnemucca representing Nevada. Bates (1914-1999) was a civil rights activist, journalist, and publisher. She played a leading role in promoting the Arkansas educational system integration and in the Little Rock Integration Crisis of 1957. Her story is featured on the Wander Women Project website and in the unique world search puzzle book: 26 African-American Women Activists in the Civil Rights Movement Word Search Puzzle Book, which is available on Amazon. 


Reposting In honor of Black History Month, I am overjoyed to announce my latest commission to create a sculpture of Daisy Bates for the United States Capitol, National Statuary Hall Collection.

Happy Persons Day to all our Canadian friends! (Celebrated annually on Oct 18)
It is hard to believe that till 1929, women were not legally considered Persons in Canada.
In 1927, the Famous Five from Alberta, Emily Murphy, Louise McKinney, Nellie McClung, Henrietta Muir Edward, and Irene Parlby, challenged the Supreme Court of Canada with the question – does the word Persons in the British North America Act of 1867 includes women? The Edwards v. Canada (Attorney General) case, commonly called The Persons Case, ruled that the word Persons did not apply to women. The Famous Five appealed to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in England, the highest level of a court appeal. On October 18th, 1929, the Lord Chancellor of Great Britain declared that the word Persons in the BNA does include women and therefore women are persons and qualified to serve in the Senate.
Several landmarks honor the Famous Five's legacy. One of which is the Women Are Persons! monument, created by Barbara Paterson, standing on Parliament Hill in Ottawa.
