The sculpture, which prepared in 10 years, composed of many female figures holding a silver nude female body, which drew reaction.
Caroline Criado-Perez, who played an important role in the campaign to erect the statue of Millicent Fawcett, struggling to give women the right to vote in Britain. She harshly criticized the sculpture of Maggi Hambling, one of Britain’s most important and controversial artists.
Criado-Perez stated that the decision process in making the statue was terribly wrong and said:
“I fully respect the effort that went into making this statue, it is a great determination. But as for the statue itself, all the labor was wasted. I think such representation really humiliates Wollstonecraft. She would not have liked it if she saw this naked representation of the magnificent body and straight out of men’s fantasies. Criado-Perez said that the statue carries a political message and should represent the feminist thinker directly. ”
The creator of the sculpture, Hambling, defends her work and if there is clothing in the statue. She said that the work will limited within a certain time and place.
“This is not the usual heroic representation of Mary Wollstonecraft. Reflects in her spirit “
