The Freedom statue and the helmeted goddess of Capitol Hill
An odd profile of Miss Freedom, the deaf mute centerpiece atop the Capitol dome, revered by visitors yet mocked for her aging bronze and a stubbornly old helmet. A humorous pastiche notes her solitary guardian Porch and the social foibles of Washington’s feminists, while hinting at Suffragist scrutiny and the city’s praise for a living symbol of liberty.
