"The engagingly dramatic work, sculpted by New York-based StudioEIS, was completed in October 2019. But there are two reasons most folks aren’t familiar with the women’s monument. First, it was installed at the beginning of the COVID-19 epidemic. Secondly, the leafy section of Capitol Square it occupies has been hard to navigate due to final construction of the General Assembly Building and repaving work on the square’s entry road nearby at East Grace and North Ninth streets."
