n March 2017, the ‘Fearless Girl’ Istatue was erected opposite the famous Wall Street installation of ‘Charging Bull’ on the night before International Women’s Day. The statue was constructed by artist Kristen Visbal, who was formerly known for her commemorative stat- ues of college football coaches. The statue was commissioned by the State Street Corporation, a financial asset service company whose revenue exceeds $10.2 bil- lion annually and oversees assets that amount to almost $2.5 trillion. A six-year investigation con- ducted by the Department of Labor found “statistically significant” dis- crepancies in how they paid black employees, as well as underpaying more than 300 female employees.
