SOMETHING IS BEING DONE!
IT'S TIME TO see women  
BECOME A SUPPORTER!

Help LexSeeHer make women visible! Bring Meredith Bergmann's monument "Something Is Being Done" to the Birthplace of American Liberty. Support the first Lexington monument to recognize women in the central historic district, spotlighting more than 20 women and girls across 300 years of HERstory.  Subscribe below to receive monthly updates as we countdown to the monument unveiling!

The monument celebrates women's economic, political, intellectual, social and cultural contributions. Lexington women have made contributions to the community and country across three centuries.

Meredith Bergmann's design invites an exploration of the concepts of “liberty” and “freedom.” What have these ideals meant for women from the 18th century to the present?

"Something Is Being Done!" Meredith Bergmann, Sketch 2022

From Celeste Freeman, LexSeeHer Advisory Board Member

​

LexSeeHer advisor Celeste Freeman summed up her reaction to Meredith Bergmann’s concept this way: “‘And when I meet Thomas Jefferson, I’ma compel him to include women in the sequel!’ This musical line from Lin Manuel’s Hamilton has been reverberating in my mind when I think of how gates and gatekeepers are often used to keep people out both physically from spaces as well as the pages of what we think of as of known history.

One of the exciting aspects of this project is that this gate is actually an invitation—an opening to everyone to visually see a more expansive view of what we think of as settled history. When I think of the role of generations of unsung women like my grandmothers who serve as both guardians and gatekeepers of history, I can’t think of a more meaningful and symbolic way to capture how our founding mothers have shaped our nation. I see it as a portal to the past, present, and future.”

From Meredith Bergmann:

​

“I’m thrilled— it’s such an honor to have been selected to work with the remarkable women of LexSeeHer on this celebration of the history of the bold women of Lexington. I am grateful that LexSeeHer chose my design, and I look forward to working with the community.”
