A bronze monument honoring the Women of the Warsaw Uprising was unveiled on the 77th anniversary of the end of the Uprising.

The monument, located in front of the entrance to the Krasiński Garden in Warsaw, depicts three women of different ages holding hands in solidarity and dignity. The inscription on the sculpture reads "To Women of the Warsaw Uprising" and was created by Monika Osiecka, who has previously created a sculpture at the grave of Kora Jackowska.

The idea for the monument came from the Foundation for Remembrance of the Heroes of the Warsaw Uprising, which oversaw its construction with support from the Association of Warsaw Insurgents. This is the third monument in the capital erected by social activists, following the unveiling of monuments to Gen. Zbigniew Ścibor-Rylski in August 2019 and Capt. Stanisław Jankowski in 2020.
