The sculpture 'Monument to the Unknown Woman Worker' is located at the entrance to the Great Northern Mall outside the Europa Buscentre in Belfast city centre.

'Monument to the Unknown Woman Worker' is dedicated to all women who work, both paid and unpaid, and was created in 1992 by sculptor Louise Walsh.
The sculpture was originally planned for the nearby Blackstaff Square, until that site’s historic association with prostitution led to the withdrawal of Belfast City Council’s support for the pair of bronze female figures.

The sculpture is cast in bronze and features two working-class women. The figures have many symbols, that represent various activities that women have or had, embedded on the surfaces. Domestic items such as colanders, a shopping basket, a telephone, clothes pegs instead of fingers and hairbrushes instead of hair can be seen on the sculpture.
