伍斯特“女性之墙”10月24日揭幕 40位女性先驱肖像亮相市中心
10月24日，马萨诸塞州伍斯特市一面长约120英尺的新壁画“伍斯特女性之墙”在富兰克林街与弗朗西斯·麦格拉思大道交汇处正式揭幕，纪念40位对这座城市产生积极影响的女性，其中既有在世者，也有已经离世的人。壁画绘制在中央马萨诸塞州基督教女青年会的外墙上，取代了此前悬挂10年的“母亲、少女、老妇”旧壁画。
主创艺术家莎琳娜·特拉维索与合作艺术家珍妮莎·伯克斯利用今年夏天约3个月时间完成创作，共使用约40加仑颜料。壁画一端绘有一个大型二维码，路人用手机扫描即可查看每一位入画女性的生平介绍，相关传记由克拉克大学学生协助整理。
74岁的黑兹尔·贝里是入画者之一，她是伍斯特警察局首位非裔女侦探，从1980年至2016年任职36年。中央马萨诸塞州基督教女青年会首席执行官黛博拉·霍尔表示，这面墙既是为了让这些女性的贡献被后人铭记，也是为了激励年轻女孩相信自己同样可以产生积极影响。

Worcester 'Wall of Women' Unveiled Oct. 24, Honoring 40 Women Pioneers Downtown
On October 24, a new 120-foot mural, the "Worcester Wall of Women," was unveiled at the corner of Franklin Street and Francis J. McGrath Boulevard in Worcester, Massachusetts, honoring 40 women who have made a positive impact on the city, both living and deceased. Painted on the exterior wall of the YWCA of Central Massachusetts, it replaces a 10-year-old mural of a mother, a young girl and an older woman.
Lead artist Sharinna Traverso and collaborating artist Janessa Burks spent about three months this summer on the work, using roughly 40 gallons of paint. A large QR code at one end lets passersby scan to read biographies of each woman pictured, compiled with help from Clark University students.
Among those honored is Hazel Berry, 74, Worcester's first Black female police detective, who served from 1980 to 2016 — 36 years. Deborah Hall, CEO of the YWCA of Central Massachusetts, said the wall is meant both to keep these women's contributions remembered and to inspire young girls to believe they can make a positive impact too.
