The first guidebook to reveal the remarkable variety of statues of women throughout Greater London.
Never mind all the Great Men - what about the great women
immortalised on London's streets? As this superbly wide-ranging book reveals,
they are an extraordinary and varied band with exceptional tales to tell.
It may have taken the women a little longer to gain
recognition, but recent years have seen new figures of Virginia Woolf, Mary
Wollstonecraft, Ada Lovelace and of course Millicent Fawcett in Parliament
Square.
Here are ground-breaking statues of the black community,
famous names from Florence Nightingale to Twiggy, interviews with artists like
Maggi Hambling and Gillian Wearing, and even Statue Safaris to take around
central London. And where is Wonder Woman?
London's Statues of Women offers nothing less
than a new vision of the capital.
