I appreciate that Eleanor is fictional but small wins 😀

Isn't there an Eleanor Rigby too? I've only seen the photo of the statue in the station toilets (high glamour!)

I love to know how scale works - are modern sculptures true to height or are they still scaled up to show *greatness*

I asked AI to find me the 10 most recent male and female statues, so this is a good start

I think might be part of it, but I want women raised up, at outlandish scale, showing how amazing they are. Not meek little heads at waist level, or homely settings. I think there might be bias in the choices

I love this! I also find when there are statues of women they are lower key and lower level. It seems men can be represented at huge scale on a huge plinth but women are represented in less grand ways. There is a lovely statue of Agatha Christie in Wallingford but she's not set on high
