俄亥俄州妇女纪念碑在州议会大厦揭幕 纪念女性对该州的贡献
据The Columbus Dispatch报道，俄亥俄州妇女纪念碑10月14日在Columbus的州议会大厦南广场揭幕，纪念从争取选举权斗争到后世各代成就中女性对俄亥俄州的贡献。
这座纪念碑由雕塑家布伦达·康西尔历时七个月雕刻完成，由数尊青铜人物雕像与四根花岗岩柱组成，其中一根石柱没有雕像，象征留给未来成就的位置。揭幕当天上午，100多名与会者先在俄亥俄剧院参加仪式，随后前往州议会大厦，州长迈克·德瓦恩与社区成员一同为纪念碑剪彩，整场庆祝活动历时约两小时，包括演讲、诗歌朗诵与纪念碑创作过程的延时摄影放映。
议会广场基金会主席查尔斯·摩西表示，这座纪念碑连接着几代人：他的母亲出生于第十九修正案获批准前七年，而他的孙女去年出生。他说，这是一座属于所有女性的纪念碑。

Ohio Women's Monument Unveiled at Statehouse Honoring Women's Contributions
The Ohio Women's Monument was unveiled on October 14 on the South Plaza of the Ohio Statehouse in Columbus, honoring women's contributions to Ohio from the fight for voting rights to the achievements of later generations, The Columbus Dispatch reported.
Sculptor Brenda Councill spent seven months sculpting the monument, which consists of bronze figures and four granite columns; one column is left without a figure to represent future accomplishments. More than 100 people attended a morning program at the Ohio Theatre before crossing to the Statehouse, where Governor Mike DeWine joined community members for a ribbon-cutting. The two-hour celebration included speeches, a poem and a time-lapse video of the monument's creation.
Charles Moses, chair of the Capitol Square Foundation, said the tribute connects generations of his own family: his mother was born seven years before the ratification of the 19th Amendment, and his granddaughter was born last year. "It is a monument for all women," Moses said.
