Never mind all the Great Men - what about the great women immortalised on London's streets? As this superbly wide-ranging book reveals, they are an extraordinary and varied band with exceptional tales to tell.
It may have taken the women a little longer to gain recognition, but recent years have seen new figures of Virginia Woolf, Mary Wollstonecraft, Ada Lovelace and of course Millicent Fawcett in Parliament Square.
Here are ground-breaking statues of the black community, famous names from Florence Nightingale to Twiggy, interviews with artists like Maggi Hambling and Gillian Wearing, and even Statue Safaris to take around central London. And where is Wonder Woman?
London's Statues of Women offers nothing less than a new vision of the capital.
Juliet Rix is an award-winning writer, editor and broadcaster working for national newspapers, magazines and the BBC. She has a degree in History of Art, and has travelled in more than 60 countries but always returns to her beloved home city - London.
