Fearless Girl

Two years ago, State Street installed an inspirational bronze statue: the Fearless Girl staring down the bronze bull on Wall Street. It was a rallying cry for gender equity in the financial services industry and State Street pledged to change its own practices to address gender equity.

In a strange twist, State Street is now suing the sculptor who created the Fearless Girl, alleging that she breached her contract when she sold copies of her sculpture to clients in Australia and Norway. Today, I made a donation for the legal defense of Kristen Visbal, the sculptor.
