Wanted: Sculpture's history

This sculpture is in the back yard of a home at 16th Avenue and Main Street. I don't know much about its history, except that it once sat on the campus of St.-Mary's's-of-the-Woods College. Many in the all-female student body expressed their discomfort with the sculpture, despite its creator being a woman. I have no idea how it came to be in Beech Grove. Can anyone shed some light on this mystery?
