Commentator explains she is something of a 60s suffragette: "She won a legal fight to become a candidate for an all-male council, but was later outvoted in favour of five men". The statue was "commemorating women's greatest victory for women for the Brighton Arts Festival". It was hoped that the statue would eventually take up a position in Pankhurst Avenue near Brighton racecourse. MCU Mother and child. MS Girl's legs - man working in BG.
