Inscription. On the Wings of Change depicts a young adolescent girl enthralled in wonder as she opens a magical book from which the history of Chicago's women's suffrage emerges as enchanted pages that whirl all around her. The animated pages contain portraits of key figures in the local suffrage movement. The entire scene is unified by a flight of swallows, who are well known for their resilience in long distance migrations, representing the inspiring journey of women who dared to soar to new heights.
