Fearless Girl breaks glass ceiling for International Women's Day
Source: WABC News
LOWER MANHATTAN, New York (WABC) -- New York City's Fearless Girl broke through the glass ceiling Monday as part of the celebration for International Women's Day.
State Street Global Advisors installed a broken glass ceiling surrounding the Fearless Girl statue, as a symbol of the new ground women are breaking every day.
"It's been four years since Fearless Girl -- the statue of a girl standing her ground in the heart of Wall Street -- sent an immediate and unmistakable message to the world's business leaders: that having strong women in leadership matters," President and CEO Cyrus Taraporevala said. "Since that time, countless women across the world have challenged conventional thinking -- whether it is in corporate boardrooms, Fortune 500 companies, or at the highest levels of government from the European Commission to the White House."
