"Albeit the popularity of the statue and the monument itself as an "Angel", it has often been pointed out that angels lack a gender, whereas the Winged Victory this statue represents is clearly femenine. It is perhaps because of the poetical conception of the Winged Victory as an Angel of Freedom, or Independence, that this name has gained its everyday use."

... Non sense, this is a Victory Column, the term ANGEL is just a popular misconception. There’s NO angel. As in any other Victory Column we have NIKE, the Greek Goddess for Victory. And specifically in this column, She is crowning Hidalgo with Laurel, the Greek symbol for Victory.
