Lynnsy Logue is a sculptor and founder of the Wonderful Women organization. She worked with Rachel Watkins to create The Homecoming Queens project in the mid-1990s.
The Homecoming Queens was a traveling exhibit of life-size mannequins and papier-mache dolls that represented women suffering from various social and political issues around the world, including female genital mutilation, rape, abuse, war, aging, and sexism.
The Montreal 14 refers to the Montreal massacre (or the Ecole Polytechnique massacre), when fourteen women were murdered by a mass shooter while attending engineering class at Ecole Polytechnique school in Montreal, Canada, on December 06, 1989. Lynnsy Logue and others organized a vigil honoring these women in Charlotte, NC, at St. Timothy's church.
