 | | The Famous 5 are five women, truly pioneers, who in Alberta in the early part of the 20th century shaped the future of the lives of all Canadian women to come. |
 | | Also included in these goals was to create a monument to The Famous 5 by raising $1 million, commissioning the artist, determining the location of the statues, and making arrangements for their installation. |
 | | F5F President, Frances Wright, sought out five prominent individual Canadian women willing to donate $200,000 each to fund The Famous 5 monument created by Edmonton artist, Barbara Paterson, and cast by Bronzart Casting Ltd. Frances and her foundation were successful in their efforts. |
