Sandra VanZandt, in association with the Oklahoma Arts Council will be working on a Kate Bernard Monument very soon.

The Kate Barnard sculpture is located on the first floor Southeast Foyer inside the State Capitol in Oklahoma City. The dedication was May 15, 2001.

Kate Barnard, in 1907, became the first woman to win statewide elective office in the United States. She held the office of Commissioner of Charities and Corrections for 2 terms. She was a key figure in the enactment of a compulsory education law with provision for state payments to widows dependant on their Children's earnings, of legislation implementing the constitutional ban on child labor, of laws aimed at unsafe working conditions and the "blacklisting" of union men.
