Interesting neutral article and interesting hook. More than long enough and the article and hook are well referenced. No evidence of close paraphrasing and the image is free licensed. I boldly edited the hook to shorten it slightly. Do hope this makes the picture hook. She has a statue and her heroic husband has a monument. Another Woman in Red made blue. Well done.
