About the artist
Lord Mayor Jayne Dunn has produced a limited run of prints titled ‘Steely Resilience, ’ featuring her illustration of the Women of Steel, in collaboration with The Archer Project’s social enterprise Printed By Us.
She says, "The Women of Steel sculpture, standing proudly at the heart of the city centre, commemorates the strength, resilience, and pride of the women who responded to the call to work in the steel factories during the First and Second World Wars. Although dismissed from the factories after each war, the women involved refused to let their impact fade.
People experiencing homelessness have to show extraordinary resilience every day. The will to survive the trauma and pain people experience when rejection, disdain, hatred and disgust are routine is remarkable. The people we support refuse to give up and be dismissed, just as the women of steel refused to have their contribution forgotten. Steely Resilience is an apt commemoration for the steelworkers of Sheffield and the vulnerable people we support."
