Monumental Welsh Women is a project to provide the first five statues of real Welsh women in Wales.^[1] It was started by a group of women, including Helen Molyneux, in 2016 and later became formalised as the not-for-profit Monumental Welsh Women Ltd. They work with other organisations, such as public art specialist group Studio Response, to raise funds and commission the statues.^[2]

Following publicity and public consultations, a short-list was drawn up. The final five were chosen and there was a series about them on the BBC in 2019.^[3]

The women selected were:

• Betty Campbell Monument in Cardiff (September 2021); the statue was commissioned from Eve Shepherd.
• Elaine Morgan in Mountain Ash (March 2022); the statue was commissioned from Emma Rodgers.
• Sarah Jane Rees (Cranogwen) in Llangrannog (June 2023); the statue was commissioned from Sebastien Boyesen.
• Lady Rhondda in Newport (September 2024); the statue was commissioned Jane Robbins.
• Elizabeth Andrews (2025).
