Statue Of Mary Anning
The Statue of Mary Anning is a bronze sculpture of the paleontologist Mary Anning in Lyme Regis. Inception and campaign In August 2018, a campaign called "''Mary Anning Rocks''" was formed by an 11-year-old school girl from Dorset, Evie Swire, supported by her mother Anya Pearson. The campaign, in promoting a monument to a 19th-century woman scientist, aimed to highlight the bias in the number of UK statues of men rather than women (more than 85% men). Prior to the erection of Mary's statue in May 2022, there were three other statues to a woman in the South West England, Southwest of England; the 2019 statue of Nancy Astor, Viscountess Astor, Nancy Astor in Plymouth, the 1888 Statue of Queen Victoria, Bristol, Statue of Queen Victoria in Bristol, and the 1902 Statue of Queen Victoria, Weymouth, Statue of Queen Victoria in Weymouth, Dorset, Weymouth.

Bronze
Bronze is an alloy consisting primarily of copper, commonly with about 12–12.5% tin and often with the addition of other metals (including aluminium, manganese, nickel, or zinc) and sometimes non-metals (such as phosphorus) or metalloids (such as arsenic or silicon). These additions produce a range of alloys some of which are harder than copper alone or have other useful properties, such as strength, ductility, or machinability. The archaeological period during which bronze was the hardest metal in widespread use is known as the Bronze Age. The beginning of the Bronze Age in western Eurasia is conventionally dated to the mid-4th millennium BCE (~3500 BCE), and to the early 2nd millennium BCE in China; elsewhere it gradually spread across regions. The Bronze Age was followed by the Iron Age, which started about 1300 BCE and reaching most of Eurasia by about 500 BCE, although bronze continued to be much more widely used than it is in modern times.
