“"The Unbroken Thread" Monument: Imagine a series of bronze female figures from different centuries (17 c. pioneer, 19 c. abolitionist, early 20 c. suffragette, mid 20 c. activist, 21 c. visionist, last spot on the platform open) all physically connected by a literal bronze thread. This would symbolize the continuous, unbreakable line of progress and shared resilience across generations. The last place is 'open' for photo opportunities that would represent future leaders for change.”

I am inspired by the women who are not written in history that have overcome obstacles of oppression due to their gender. There is no monument large enough to portray all women that have made a difference for the betterment.
