SCULPTURE BY LOUISE WALSH
Louise Walsh is an acclaimed Northern Irish artist renowned for her evocative public sculptures that consistently challenge traditional narratives and celebrate the often-unacknowledged contributions of women to society. Two of her most significant works, "Mother, Daughter, Sister" and "Monument to the Unknown Woman Worker" (often referred to as "Working Women"), are prominently located in Belfast, each offering a poignant tribute to female resilience and their pivotal role in community life.
MONUMENT TO THE UNKNOWN WOMAN WORKER
The evolution of this monument, from a contentious proposal to a widely accepted and cherished artwork, reflects a broader shift in societal values and the growing appreciation for feminist art and the recognition of women's labour.
