Ros Taylor writes, "As a psychologist working internationally with senior women, I particularly love the Elsie mission because Elsie Inglis embodies the leadership qualities of pioneering spirit and perseverance, both delivered with a calm determination. I want her statue to represent all that’s wonderful about women leading from the front."
