Item Description

First Ladies Who Worked For Women's Rights Bas Relief Sculpture

This bas relief sculpture, designed by artist Bill Mack, honors the First Ladies who worked for women's rights.  (Eleanor Roosevelt, Betty Ford, Hillary Clinton, Lady Bird Johnson, and Rosalyn Carter). Four copies were created.  Two in a sand tone and two in a bronze tone.  

One was donated to the Ford Presidential Library in Michigan (the donor was from Michigan).

One was donated to the Clinton Presidential Library in Little Rock, Arkansas.  (President Clinton was in office when the art piece was completed.) 

One is on display at the Belmont-Paul Women's Equality National Monument District of Columbia  

The last one hung in our office until we moved in 2012.  Our new office doesn't have a wall that gives the artwork justice. Its dimensions are 4ft. 6.5 inches wide, 3ft 6 inches tall, and 3 inches deep.  It weighs about 60 pounds.
