Fearless Girl Statue.

Worth it, says Antonina. The Fearless Girl’s defiant stance against the famous symbol of financial power has inspired many replicas across the world, including Oslo, Melbourne, and London.

Where Fearless Girl Statue appears on New York Dearest

It's on 1 of my list. Each entry below is what I wrote about it there, with my verdict on that list, the fullest first.

  • Address2-26 Broad St, New York, NY 10005
  • From my guide, updated September 2026.

The Fearless Girl statue in gained fame as a potent symbol of female empowerment and gender equality. Unveiled on International Women’s Day in 2017, this bronze sculpture, depicting a young girl standing firm with hands on hips, faced Wall Street’s Charging Bull.

Created by artist Kristen Visbal, the statue originally intended to promote gender diversity in the business world. It quickly resonated globally, symbolizing the strength and empowerment of women, especially young girls. The Fearless Girl’s defiant stance against the famous symbol of financial power has inspired many replicas across the world, including Oslo, Melbourne, and London.

Interesting background.The Fearless Girl statue was moved from its original location facing the Charging Bull to a new spot in front of the New York Stock Exchange. The reason? Arturo Di Modica (who designed the Charging Bull) felt the statue’s placement villainized the bull, so the Fearless Girl Statue was moved to the new location.

Worth it, says Antonina. Been? Say if you agree.
