Why is there no (may be unknown) great female monuments in the US? Considering the Statue of Liberty was donated by France.

I believe that there are monuments in the WWII memorial in DC which honor females.
But, you may be wondering why no one specific female is honored in this manner.
Well, for one, there have been no female presidents. That eliminates most of the monuments.
And, since females are discouraged from participating in combat, only males are recognized in that genre.
But, that's not to say that females should not be honored. We have had a myriad women who could be considered monument worthy, as it were.
Some who come to mind our Betsy Ross, Susan B. Anthony, Eleanor Roosevelt, Amelia Earhart...
You brought up a great point. I never thought about that. Thanks for making me aware.
