Statue Honouring Suffragette Lady Rhondda Unveiled
Sculptor Jane Robbins has honoured Lady Rhondda, a leading suffragette who led a 40-year campaign to allow women to sit in the House of Lords, with a stunning sculpture in Newport.
This is the fourth sculpture in a series of five that recognises and celebrates inspirational Welsh women.
The other women who have been celebrated are Betty Campbell, Wales’ first black headteacher, the evolutionary theorist, journalist and dramatist Elaine Morgan and Cranogwen, the first woman to win a poetry prize at the National Eisteddfod.
Elizabeth Andrews, the influential Welsh political activist, will be honoured with the fifth and final statue.
The Lloyd George Society welcomes the recognition of these women and their contribution to Welsh life, politics and democracy.
