Biden announces Women’s Suffrage National Monument to be placed on National Mall

A monument honoring the women’s suffrage movement will be placed on the National Mall after President Joe Biden signed the Women’s Suffrage National Monument Location Act into law. The yet-to-be-built statue will recognize the efforts of the national movement to ensure women the right to vote, culminating with the ratification of the 19th Amendment and those whose work helped make it possible.

The White House made the announcement in a press release on Jan. 5.
