She was good with her hands, strong in her beliefs and eloquent in her speech.

Plymouth Illinois native Adelaide Johnson was a prominent national voice for women’s rights.

Monday marks the 100th anniversary of a seven-ton reminder viewed by millions of people each year.

The statue was originally titled “The Woman’s Movement.” It was unveiled in a lavish ceremony at the Capitol in Washington, D.C., on February 15th, 1921.

The day after the festivities, it was unceremoniously carted off to the Capitol basement — allegedly due to its weight. It would remain in the dark for more than three-quarters-of-a-century.

The huge artwork is now known as “The Portrait Monument.”  It depicts women’s rights pioneers Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony and Lucretia Mott.

The statue was brought out of storage on Mother’s Day Weekend 1997, and can be found in the Capitol Rotunda.

A spokeswoman said it did receive minor damage during the January 6th protests, but only required minimal cleaning.

Johnson returned to Plymouth periodically over the years. She died at age 96 on Nov. 11, 1955, and is buried at Congressional Cemetery in Washington.
