This now-renown 'Fearless Girl' bronze statue was installed — just before the 61st UN Commission on the Status of Women was convened  in New York City — to face the famous Wall Street bronze bull statue. She is already widely appreciated as a symbol of the rights of women and girls and their emerging fuller impact on society. ​Photo courtesy of CBS/NY.
