United States Capitol rotunda

===Women's suffrage===
This group portrait monument is known formally as the ''[[Portrait Monument|Portrait Monument to Lucretia Mott, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Susan B. Anthony]]'', pioneers of the [[History of women's suffrage in the United States|women's suffrage movement in the United States]]. Their efforts, and the work of later suffrage activists like [[Alice Paul]], eventually led to the passage of the [[Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution|19th Amendment]] in 1920. The work was sculpted by [[Adelaide Johnson]] (1859–1955) from a {{convert|16000|lb|adj=on}} block of [[marble]] in [[Carrara]], [[Italy]]. The portraits are copies of the individual busts she carved for the Court of Honor of the Woman's Building at the [[World's Columbian Exposition]] in 1893. The detailed busts are surrounded by rough-hewn marble at the top of the sculpture. This part of the statue, according to some, is left unfinished representing the unfinished work of women's rights. Contrary to a popular story, the intention was not that it be completed upon the ascension of the first female President — the rough-hewn section is too small to carry a proportional bust. The monument was presented to the Capitol as a gift from the women of the United States by the National Woman's Party and was accepted on behalf of Congress by the Joint Committee on the Library on February 10, 1921. The unveiling ceremony was held in the Rotunda on February 15, 1921, the 101st anniversary of the birth of Susan B. Anthony, and was attended by representatives of over 70 women's organizations. Shortly after its unveiling, however, the statue was moved into the Capitol Crypt. It remained on display there for 75 years, until HCR 216 ordered it moved to the Rotunda. The statue was placed in its current location, in the Rotunda, in May 1997.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.aoc.gov/cc/art/rotunda/suffrage.cfm|title = Portrait Monument to Suffrage Pioneers &#124; AOC}}</ref>
