Could Martha Hughes Cannon be the 6th statue of the #MonumentalWelshWomen? A copy of this Washington D.C. bronze would be great for Llandudno, to celebrate her place of birth & the political achievements she made in USA.

Martha Hughes Cannon moved from a tiny 🏴 village to 🇺🇸 aged 2 - and went on to be the 1st woman state senator.
A trailblazer, who founded Utah’s 1st Board of Health & pioneered women’s rights, she’s the first Welsh person immortalized in the US Capitol - & only the 14th woman.
