Last week, the U.S. Senate approved a resolution authorizing the placement of a monument honoring the women’s suffrage movement on the National Mall in Washington D.C. after a seven-year journey that began in Jane DeDecker’s Eighth Street studio in Loveland. According to the Loveland Reporter Herald, the seed was planted in 2017 when DeDecker responded to a call for entries for a women’s rights monument in New York City’s Central Park. Her proposed sculpture Every Word We Utter was not chosen for that particular placement, but it got the attention of federal officials at the Belmont-Paul Women’s Equality National Monument in Washington D.C., which inspired DeDecker to aim higher for her suffrage tribute.
