Supreme Court Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sandra Day O'Connor could be memorialized with Capitol statues if the effort is successful.
Supreme Court Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sandra Day O’Connor could be honored with statues in the U.S. Capitol if legislation introduced by a bipartisan group of female senators on Thursday goes ahead. Sculptures in the Capitol commemorate notable historical figures. Of the 266 in the building, 252 are of men and just 14 represent women. The legislation introduced by Sens. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.), and co-sponsored by 17 others, including nine men, could start to change that.More Related News
