On March 7, 2017, a statue was put up on Wall Street across from the symbolic Charging Bull. This statue, called “Fearless Girl,” is a simple bronze statue of a little girl, facing the bull, hands on her hips, standing fearlessly. It isn’t surprising that certain people, especially the creator of the Charging Bull statue, want her to be removed. The reason that people want her removed, that she represents a female challenging something ruled by men, is the very reason she should stay.
The Charging Bull was placed on Wall Street in the middle of the night after the stock market crash of 1987.
