Fearless Girl statue

The Fearless Girl statue has stood defiantly across from Wall Street's famous Charging Bull for almost two weeks, but interest in seeing and posing with her have yet to wane. The bronze statue was commissioned by financial management firm State Street Global Advisors and placed in honor of International Women's Day to call attention to the need for more women on corporate boards. As she has become a social media phenomenon, Fearless Girl has also become a broader symbol of female empowerment.
