Sculptor selected for bronze statue at library In a rural Midwestern town 75 miles north of Indianapolis, women’s history is being made again. A little over 100 years ago, suffragist Marie Stuart Edwards organized thousands of women from Peru, Indiana, to fight for their right to vote and then realize their new role as first-time voters after the 19th Amendment’s ratification. Today, a woman — Tennessean sculptor Cindy Billingsley — has been commissioned to design a life-size bronze statue of Marie Stuart Edwards on the grounds of Peru’s Carnegie library. When unveiled on Aug. 26, 2021, the Marie Stuart Edwards statue will be the third historical marker and public artwork placed this summer to commemorate Hoosiers’ contributions to the right to vote. There are very few statues commemorating women’s suffrage in the United States, and even fewer crafted by women sculptors. Ms. Billingsley has a unique task. The local Main Street organization ReDiscover Downtown Peru and historic preservation groups Miami County Indiana Worth Remembering and Daughters of the American Revolution have asked Ms. Billingsley to bring Marie Stuart Edwards’ role in the suffrage movement to life for the next generation of women voters. In fact, the life-size bronze statue will feature the likeness of Marie Stuart Edwards as a 12year-old girl with her bicycle on the way to the library. The bicycle has long been associated with the suffrage movement because it symbolized women’s freedom of movement and style. It is this spirit of selfreliance and independence that the statue will capture to honor Marie Stuart Edwards and suffragists at the Peru Public Library where they first began meeting in 1914. As local lore goes, child Marie Stuart was the first
girl in her hometown of Lafayette, Indiana, to ride a bicycle. Who Marie grew up to be is nothing less than remarkable. After moving to Peru with her husband and son, Mrs. Marie Stuart Edwards organized suffragists for the 19th Amendment’s final push, all the while keeping the young family’s business going through the pandemic and World War I. In February 1920, she helped found the National League of Women Voters, serving as the association’s first-ever treasurer and then vicepresident. After the massive voter registration drive, she would move the national headquarters to Peru. Training was at the heart of suffragist Marie’s strategy. To cast a ballot in their first election meant women would need a Peru Public Library, Peru, Indiana. trusted source of information in order to make decisions when they did finally go to the polls.

Marie worked over the next four decades for social reform and exemplified civic duty,” Ms. Ward said, reflecting on the launch of the Meet Marie campaign. “I imagine mothers and daughters, their granddaughters, aunts and nieces, best friends standing in front of Marie and her bicycle talking about what suffrage means to them.
