The '''Eleanor Roosevelt Monument''' is located at the southeast corner of [[New York City]]'s [[Riverside Park (Manhattan)|Riverside Park]]. It is the first work of public art in New York City to be dedicated to an American woman and, according to the Eleanor Roosevelt Monument Fund, which provided much of the funding for the project, it is the first work of public art to be dedicated to an American president's wife. The
centerpiece of the monument is a bronze statue of [[Eleanor Roosevelt]]. [[Hillary Clinton]] (the First[[first Ladylady]] at the time) gave the keynote address at the monument's dedication on October 5, 1996.<ref name="nyt-1996-10-05">{{cite news |last=Martin |first=Douglas |date=October 5, 1996 |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1996/10/05/nyregion/eleanor-roosevelt-honored-in-hometown-today.html |title=Eleanor Roosevelt Honored in Hometown Today |work=The New York Times |access-date=2019-03-13}}</ref>
