Stavanger would not have developed to the extent it did during the industrial period, if it wasn't for all the women who worked very long days in the industry.
In the beginning they did not have permanent jobs and they worked very hard, sometimes even bringing their children to work.
Later as laws and regulations were introduced, things became better.
This is a fine example of one of the many workers who made Stavanger famous, in this case, working in the canning industry.
The statue is made by Hugo Frank Wathne, and is placed at what we call,
Østre Bydel (East part of the town).

Thank you for honoring the work of women! We need more recognition in all areas of life. Hoorah for the artist!!
The artist did very well with it.
A very good monument...
May they continue to prosper and to live long. :-)
Un beau témoignage...

Excellent. Women have been accepted into the workforce historically when there was more work to be done than men to do the work. Good thing that opportunities are more evenly spread around these days.
