Relegated to the Crypt of the Capitol building for 76 years, the
Portrait Monument has stood in the Rotunda since 1997. Often
referred to as the Suffrage Statue, it memorializes pioneering
feminists Lucretia Mott, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B.
Anthony and is the sole sculptural representation of women in the
Rotunda. From its conception by sculptor Adelaide Johnson as three
separate busts to its laborious execution and celebrated placement
in the Rotunda, the seven ton sculpture has provoked frustration,
jubilation and hullabaloo. Drawing on diaries, letters, newspapers
and historic photos, this first-ever history of the monument
explores the controversy, myths and artistry behind this
neoclassical yet unconventional work of art.
