It is located at Green Dragon Square in Leicester. The 7-foot tall, 800-pound bronze statue was created by sculptor Sean Hedges-Quinn and cast in a foundry in London. It stands on a 4-foot granite plinth and was erected near to the spot Hawkins would have stood when she addressed the public on the topic of women's suffrage. The statue was unveiled on 4 February, 2018. Image
