Iconic Women of Gloucester– 2024
Bridget Cimino – 2024

The mural was commissioned by the Cook Foundation in 2024 and placed on the opposing side of the building with the T.C. Walker mural. The mural represents 250 years of women in and from Gloucester contributing to the county, Virginia, and the United States of America. The mural features the following women:

Judith Lomax, (1774 – 1828), was the first woman to publish a book of poetry in Virginia, The Notes of an American Lyre, printed by Samuel Pleasants.

Kacey Carneal, (1935 - 2022) Accomplished, self-taught, naive folk artist.

Irene Morgan, (1917 - 2007), a civil rights icon whose landmark case in 1944 - 1946, argued by Thurgood Marshall on behalf of Morgan and the NAACP, resulted in a US Supreme Court decision that set a legal precedent that bolstered the Freedom Rider movement largely credited to Rosa Parks. Morgan also worked during this time on the production line of the B-26 Marauder aircraft.

Jennie Booth Moton, (1879-1942), a Gloucester native, served as the Director of the Department of Women's Industries at the Tuskegee Institute, was a lifelong educator, and was married to Robert Russa Moton.

Mary Shipko, (1949), an aviation pioneer is the first woman to become a commercial aviation pilot for Hughes Air.

Margaret Ann Tunner, (1917 - 2009), WASP during World War II who retired to a beautiful farm in Ware Neck, Virginia in 1960 with her husband Lt. General William Tunner. She also testified before Congress to request recognition of the WASPs as having performed militarily during WWII. Her request was successful and transformed history for the women she served alongside.

The inspiring contributions by these women to the county and the Commonwealth are worthy of recognition.
