Despite the significance of Mary Wollstonecraft's life and work, she has no monument.

This is an interesting campaign:

The Mary on the Green campaign believes that a monument would stimulate questions, establish her place in history, and trigger investigation into her impact on all our lives. Newington Green, London, is where she lived, and where her radical ideas on equality, education and politics were first formed.

A dedicated group of Mary Wollstonecraft enthusiasts and local area supporters are raising funds to commission a monument to be erected in Newington Green. It will be open to everyone: local people, tourists and children learning about diversity, rights and history.
