Rumble on the Royal Mile
73% Informative
Hundreds signed an open letter objecting to a planned statue of suffragette Elsie Inglis on Royal Mile .
Alexander Stoddart is one of the world's most accomplished realists and certainly Scotland 's best sculptor.
But the row is not about the statue’s subject, it is about whether or not a male sculptor could possibly do her likeness justice.
A Facebook campaign group has worked themselves into a lather over the fact that neither the commissioners of the sculpture nor the sculptor have “lived experience with feminism or sexism” Should a commission like this necessarily go to a woman? The implications of such a rule are troubling.
