Lola Maverick Lloyd


This bronze sculpture of Lola Maverick Lloyd (1875-1944) stands in the Belmont-Paul National Women's Equality Historic Site in Washington, DC.
“A founding member of the National Woman's Party and a pioneer in the international women's rights movement, Lola Maverick Lloyd along with Jane Addams co-founded the Women's International League for Peace and freedom. Lloyd also co-founded the Campaign for World Government in 1937, among the first organizations to advocate for a democratic federal world government.” -- National Woman’s Party

  1. hello Allen Brown: Im interested in your bust of LML. Who is the sculptor? I have a similar bust of Lola that I assume was crafted by the sculptor Charles Haag. Could he have created two busts of the same woman?

  2. According the label, which you can almost see (out of focus), behind the bust in the final picture above, the sculptor was Enzo Serafini.
