Discover the story behind the dual-sided bronze relief in Sweden, a tribute to Anna Sterky, a trailblazer of the Social Democratic Women's Movement.

The bronze relief stands 87 cm high, resting on a 90 cm high pedestal, featuring the portrait of Anna Sterky in profile on one side, with a representation of her life on the other. Crafted by Christina Rundqvist Andersson, it was erected in 1988. Positioned in the eastern part of Norra Bantorget, near LO-borgen where Sterky worked for over 25 years, the inscription on the pedestal's front side reads: Anna Sterky 1856-1939.
