Across the country, there is a growing movement to recognize noteworthy women and their historical contributions through public monuments. Unfortunately, less than 7% of the 5,193 monuments in the United States presently recognize women. The “Breaking the Bronze Ceiling” initiative changed that in Lexington, Kentucky, when in August 2020 when STAND by Barbara Grygutis was installed.
