Boston Women's Monument
Located on Commonwealth Avenue under a charming canopy of trees, this monument stands as a memorial to many prominent women such as Abigail Adams, Phyllis Wheatley, and so on. I suppose this is to counterbalance the reality that all the other statutes in Boston are each a monument to one man who is either a warrior or a politician, or both.
