Statue dedicated to the feminist Mary Wollstonecraft on display at Newington Green on 11th of November 2020 in London, United Kingdom. The statue by artist Maggie Hambling has been 10 years in the making and was installed on the 10th of November 2020. The statue has created some controversy and attracted many onlookers and much discussion the day after it first went on display due to the naked nature of the figure. The artist responded saying: 'You can’t be naked enough can you? 'The point is that she has to be naked because clothes define people. We all know that clothes are limiting and she is everywoman.'
