‘Fearless Girl’ rules the Financial District. International Women’s Day
This famous feisty girl stands her ground in front of the New York Stock Exchange in lower Manhattan, a striking reminder as we celebrate International Women’s Day that we still have work to do in the quest for gender equality. Kristen Visbal’s bronze sculpture ‘Fearless Girl’ took up her power pose in 2017 facing down the iconic Wall Street bronze statue called 'Charging Bull.' For the 2021 observance of International Women's Day, the corporate sponsor of 'Fearless Girl' added broken glass around her, with a plaque that reads: “Today’s broken glass ceilings are tomorrow’s stepping stones.”
The 2022 theme for International Women’s Day is #BreakTheBias, and organizers call on us to imagine a 'world free of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination…A world that is diverse, equitable, and inclusive.' Bring it on.
