Women's Suffrage National Monument

The Women's Suffrage National Monument is a planned memorial sculpture that will honor suffragists who organized and demonstrated for the women's right to vote in the United States.

The Women's Suffrage National Monument Foundation is leading efforts to build the monument. The Foundation was founded in 2018, and in 2020 it was authorized by an act of Congress to oversee the establishment of the monument. The project was initially authorized as the Every Word We Utter Monument.

The sculpture is designed by Colorado artist Jane DeDecker.

First ladies Rosalynn Carter, Laura Bush, Hillary Rodham Clinton, Michelle Obama, Melania Trump, and Jill Biden are honorary chairs of the Foundation. The Foundation's Executive Director is Anna Laymon.

In October 2022, Monument supporters began lobbying Congress to garner support for construction of the monument on the National Mall in Washington, DC. Senators introduced a bill that would provide an exemption to the Commemorative Works Act and allow its placement in the Reserve of the National Mall axis in March 2023.
