A New York activist supporting Virginia’s ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment exposed her breast to lawmakers outside the Capitol on Monday while she and another activist mimicked the great seal of the commonwealth in a performance art bit.

Capitol Police arrested her and charged her with indecent exposure after giving her a warning.

The protester, Michelle Renay Sutherland, 45, intended to be arrested when she and Natalie White, both of New York City, recreated the state seal. According to Virginia code, the seal shows the Roman goddess Virtus, who represents the genius of the commonwealth, holding a spear and sword and resting her left foot on the form of Tyranny, represented by the prostrate body of a man.

Sutherland, who goes by the name “Sister Leona,” is with a group called Radical Matriarchy, and White, who was arrested last week outside the office of House Speaker Kirk Cox, R-Colonial Heights, is with a group called Equal Means Equal. Capitol Police said the address listed on Sutherland’s charge of indecent exposure is in Florida.

The Virginia Senate in January voted 26-14 to pass a resolution for Virginia to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment, but it died in a state House subcommittee on a 4-2 vote.
