Women of World War II memorial


As it is difficult to find information about women in the world wars in our century, we have chosen
to write about a monument that conmemorates the role of women in war:
It is a british national war memorial situated in London In centre of street between Cabinet Office and Ministry of Defence. The memorial was unveiled on 9 July 2005, two days after the 7/7 London bombings, by Queen Elizabeth II as part of the 60th anniversary of the end of the Second World War.
It is made in bronze, with seventeen uniforms who represent the services of women in the war like the nurses. It also has some inscriptions. The proyect to do the memorial had started before but it was neccesary to raise funds. Originally planned to be next to statues of WW2 Field Marshals on south side of Whitehall. The statue of Sir Francis Drake was removed to make room and relocated to Greenwich.
