COLUMBUS (AP) — A group planning the celebration of the women’s suffrage centennial is ready to propose a permanent memorial on the Ohio Statehouse grounds.
Members of the Women’s Suffrage Centennial Commission say the effort will require raising more than $1 million.
If approved, construction could follow after a five-year waiting period.
Gongwer News Service reports that the commission will propose the project to the Capital Square Review and Advisory Board this week.
Members of the commission noted at a meeting on Wednesday that currently all monuments to actual historical figures on the Statehouse grounds in Columbus are monuments of men.
