Celebrating women in Bristol and the Put Her Forward project

 While walking around the University of Bristol, there are many statues of men - but I am pleased to see women being celebrated in more recent initiatives. One initiative is the Put Her Forward project where 25 women were nominated by the community to have a 3D printed statue made of themselves https://putherforward.com/the-women/.

Professor Jean Golding's statue is located at Royal Fort Gardens, University of Bristol. Professor Golding founded the ALSPAC longitudinal study that Prof Sue Roulstone and Prof Yvonne Wren have been involved in.
Two other women being celebrated in Brisol at the moment are Henrietta Lacks and Mary Anning.
