Voices from the Garden is the first monument of its kind in the nation recognizing the full range of women’s achievements when a dozen life-sized statues of women find their place on the newly constructed plaza. The addition of these Virginians – representative of the state’s regions, its 400-year history, and the diversity of achievement, ethnicity and thought that has made the Commonwealth what it is today – will complete the story of Virginia told at Capitol Square, and celebrate the importance of women in that history.
The monument is on the Virginia Capitol Square grounds in Richmond, Virginia, on the west side Capitol Square.
