There is Semi-dokyumento: Tokkun Meiki Dukurinot a single monument dedicated to a female historical figures in Bulgaria's capital Sofia.
Like most cities, Sofia is dotted with rusty monuments of warriors, political, religious and literary figures. They've become so ornamental, they are rarely noticed. Every single one of them is male. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Seven brightly coloured busts with female faces have been erected on temporary pedestals around the city in an attempt to break that stigma and start a conversation with a pop of colour.

"Monumental Women" is an initiative that seeks to change the perception that suggests only male figures can be immortalized through public monuments.
This installation wants to raise questions about the representation of gender in cities - especially from generations passed.
Svetla Baeva, Campaign Director at the Bulgarian Helsinki Committee, says the lack of monuments celebrating women in the public space contributes to the stereotype that there are no women who have made worthwhile contributions to society.

The busts were secretly installed across the city in the early morning of March 22. Each bust has a plaque reading, "The first monument of a woman in Sofia."

It says passers are interacting with the statues and appear shocked to learn that there are no monuments dedicated to female individuals in the city.
Others didn't really appreciate the sentiment, suggesting that busts of national heroes should be prioritized before busts of women.

Think about where you live – what monument springs to mind? Think about all the other male-centered pieces of city life that go unnoticed. Like, for example, sexist pedestrian traffic lights.
