A new statue celebrating the life and legacy of pioneering Welsh campaigner Elizabeth Andrews will be unveiled at Rhondda Heritage Park later this month.
The special ceremony will take place at Rhondda Heritage Park Museum in Trehafod on Thursday, June 25, at 12pm, with members of the public invited to attend.
The unveiling marks the fifth and final statue in the Monumental Welsh Women project, a national initiative dedicated to recognising the achievements of influential Welsh women by creating permanent public monuments in their honour.
Elizabeth Andrews was a pioneering Welsh socialist, suffragist and community campaigner whose work helped improve the lives of women and families across Wales. Her statue will join a growing collection of landmarks celebrating remarkable Welsh women and their contributions to society.
The Monumental Welsh Women project has already seen statues unveiled in honour of teacher and campaigner Betty Campbell in Cardiff, writer and broadcaster Dr Elaine Morgan in Mountain Ash, poet and activist Cranogwen in Llangrannog, and businesswoman and suffragette Lady Rhondda in Newport.
Organisers say the unveiling of the Elizabeth Andrews statue will complete an important chapter in the project, helping to ensure that the stories of influential Welsh women are recognised and celebrated in public spaces across the country.
The event will take place at Rhondda Heritage Park Museum, Trehafod, on June 25 at midday and is open to all members of the public who wish to attend and be part of the occasion.
