“The monument should be made of marble and granite - it should include stone from as many quarries as possible, to represent how the work was done by suffragists everywhere in the US , and it should be statues of multiple suffragists, placed on 2-foot platforms to elevate them above the walkway. It should include plaques with information about the history of women's suffrage in the US, including the difference between the terms 'suffragist' and 'suffragette'. The monument should communicate that suffrage is important to our nation, as the progression of human rights in the US is a major part of our national story.”
