The Boston Women's Memorial is a work of public art that celebrates the achievements of Abigail Adams, Lucy Stone and Phillis Wheatley - three visionary writers who share a strong Boston identity and a passion for social justice. Adams' correspondence, Stone's newspaper The Woman's Journal, and Wheatley's poetry were progressive, even radical, in their time. The Boston Women's Memorial Task Force brought together educators, historians, elected officials, Back Bay neighbors, area businesses and the Boston Women's Commission, along with other city agencies. The installation, last year, culminated ten years of work by the Boston community and increased the representation of women in public art in the city by 30 percent.
