About
These bronze statues honour the Famous Five: Irene Parlby, Louise McKinney, Nellie McClung, Emily Murphy and Henrietta Muir Edwards, who won recognition of women as persons under the law in 1929. Because of construction on Parliament Hill, the sculpture now stands on the Plaza Bridge near the Senate of Canada. It is outdoors and free to see at any time, an easy stop on a walk downtown.
