Sheffield statue to celebrate women of steel

Sheffield is to erect a statue commemorating the women who kept the city's steelworks running during both world wars, after a £150,000 fundraising effort. Designed by Martin Jennings, who sculpted the much-loved statue of John Betjeman at St Pancras station in London, the artwork shows two "women of steel", one in dungarees and a headscarf, the other in a boiler suit, her hair in a cap.
