Jane DeDecker's latest historic sculpture that celebrates the 100th Anniversary of the 19th Amendment, the women's right to vote.
The 19th Amendment Centennial Tribute sculpture "Stand" depicts some of the women who helped make the amendment possible. The bronze is available as soon as election day 2020. Ideal for public placement in civic plazas, or city halls. We hope to see one in every state.
We've designed a bronze and stone base to elegantly anchor the sculpture, this is pre-engineered for a safe and easy installation without a footing or special equipment. The images are shown in clay as we are currently taking pre-cast orders.
In a particularly important year to get the vote out - this sculpture will reinvigorate the patriotic spirit, reminding us of the many individuals before us, who fought so hard for this right.
Stand for freedom; stand for equality; stand for liberty; stand for human rights; stand for a voice; stand for the future; stand for women's right to vote!

Jane DeDecker's 19th Amendment Centennial Tribute
"Ode to the Suffragists
they were fiercer than their own bones wilder than any bird slipping the bars of cage more insistent than ocean tides, coming ashore again and again and they marched and sang canny as water, freezing and melting to crack granite sturdy as trees, rising on the branches of each other's shoulders strategic as generals, marshaling forces, mapping the way and they marched and spoke their urgent words becoming a deep thrum insurgent, outspoken, wise, undaunted, patient and impatient, differing and agreeing, fermenting, fomenting, witty, tenacious, and because failure was impossible they marched deeper into freedom dissolving the mineral no" -Veronica Patterson (poem included on the back of the tribute sculpture) |
A Gallop poll asked for the most significant events of the 20th Century and Americans voted the passage of the 19th amendment as the second most important event (Second only to WWII). The 100 year anniversary of the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment is here and it is time to Celebrate the courage and impact of women.
Stand tells the story of the 70 year, multi generational, multi ethnic, non partisan fight to claim women’s right to vote. From the first call to action to the celebratory ratification Stand encompasses the varied voices and work of strong women, and their focused efforts that coalesced into a cascade of involvement and change that still reverberates today. The women within the matriarchal system of the local Native American tribes and the equal democratic footing that those women held inspired Elizabeth Cady Stanton and others to stand and fight for the equality of women. Political activist and reformer Zitkala Sa stands representing her ancestral influence and as a symbol of the dichotomy of changing needs in our society. Sojourner Truth stands as a beacon speaking for all women around her helping to ignite the fight for equality amongst all those wanting their voices heard regardless of gender or race. She rises using her voice to “set the world right side up” Susan B. Anthony and her unwavering position for the equal treatment and recognition of the value of women began to build an army and the women’s movement was born. Young Harriet Stanton Blatch, stands at the ready next to her mother listening and absorbing. She will grow and stand with the next generation and transform the movement to be more inclusive, inspiring women to continue to reach higher. Ida B. Wells fought injustice and believed that ‘the only way to right wrongs is by turning the light of truth upon them.’ Mary Church Terrell amplified black women’s voices to be heard by educating, organizing, and inspiring others to continue “lifting as we climb.” Alice Paul tirelessly rallied, marched, striked, and picketed as she pressed the walls of gender inequality. She unfurles the Ratification Banner marking the ratification of the 19th Amendment on August 26, 1920. Helen Keller through her own physical challenges rose to advocate for disenfranchised people with disabilities fighting for their human right to be heard. These are only a few on the women involved and the women’s movement did not end here. The 19th amendment was a mere gateway to the groundswell of voting rights and human rights that followed. 
The base is designed to avoid a need for footings or special equipment. Engineering and installation instructions will be provided upon order. Most cities and municipalities will be able to install on their own.
Featuring 9 portraits of pivotal women from the Woman's Suffrage Movement. We are seeking sponsorship from private donors, cities or municipalities for Public Art placements of the 8-ft tall bronze and sandstone sculpture this year. click here to order
