Florida's Tribute to the Women of the Confederacy, also known as A Tribute to the Women of the Southern Confederacy and the Monument to the Women of the Confederacy,[1][2] is an outdoor Confederate memorial installed in Jacksonville, Florida's Confederate Park, in the United States.[3]

Description and history

The monument was designed in 1914 by sculptor Allen George Newman (1875–1940), and dedicated on October 26, 1915. Jno. Williams, Inc. served as the founder, and McNeel Marble Works served as the work's contractor. Its condition was deemed "treatment needed" by the Smithsonian Institution's "Save Outdoor Sculpture!" program in November 1992.[2]

"In May 2018, the monument was cited among those targeted by the March for Change, a three-day, 40-mile protest against Confederate monuments located in Jacksonville and St. Augustine."[4] It is No. 10 on the Make It Right Project's list of Confederate memorials it wants to see removed.[4]
