WHAT'S NEW IN NYC
Central Park is sporting a NEW STATUE! And for the first time, the statue actually represents Women. Might be interesting to realize that
the park hasn't had a single Statue dedicated to a Woman since its opening.
The beautiful and elegant
"Women's Rights Pioneers" Statue by sculptor Meredith Bergmann is now standing tall along the Mall where other important literary figures' statues have been standing for decades.
Using your phone, you can
listen to a brief (9-minute long) talk narrated by Viola Davis, Jane Alexander and Meryl Streep (in English) and Zoe Saldana, America Ferrera, and Rita Moreno (in Spanish) that brings you the words of the
3 women celebrated with the Statue -- Sojourner Truth, Susan D. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton.
