“Fearless Girl” Not Going Anywhere Anytime Soon

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Elon chapter.

The little girl defying Wall Street is embracing industrial change across the world. Standing tall, proud and determined, this ‘fearless girl’ should become your newest superhero. Despite your gender, the workforce is not place for sexism and inequality. Put into place on National’s Women’s Day as symbol of courage and inspiration for more women to become leaders in the workforce in the financial district of NYC, this fearless girl is encouraging future global leaders to take a stance. 

    Starring directly into the face of adversity with the massive bull, the little girl’s pony tail sways with confidence as she proudly puts her hands on her hips. The significance of this display has opened the conversation about female empowerment and initiative far beyond Wall Street.

    This fearless girl is not going anywhere. Scheduled to only be only display for a few weeks, the fearless girl has gotten so much praise and support that removing it on April 2nd was soon out of the question. International applause and appreciation has shown the immense power of female leaders in the workforce. The fearless girl demonstrates an amazing tribute of triumph, motivation and empowerment to everyone— hard work and perseverance will make your dreams become reality.
