\n It\u2019s monumental.<\/p>\n

A statue of three women\u2019s rights pioneers was unveiled in Central Park on Wednesday \u2014 becoming the 167-year-old green expanse\u2019s first monument to real-life female figures.<\/p>\n

The bronze sculpture, located in the park\u2019s Literary Walk, honors Sojourner Truth, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony, key figures in the women\u2019s equality movement, each with roots in the Big App<\/a>le.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s long overdue,\u201d sculptor Meredith Bergmann said at the dedication ceremony, \u201cand it\u2019s wonderful that these three great and inspiring and incredibly hardworking activist women are here in Central Park.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey can inspire us to continue to fight for equal rights, for fairness and for justice for women, for minority groups, for people of color \u2014 for everyone now,\u201d Bergmann said.<\/p>\n

The 14-foot-tall monument was aptly dedicated on the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th amendment, which enshrined women\u2019s right to vote in the Constitution.<\/p>\n

It depicts Truth and Stanton seated at a small table in discussion, with Anthony standing between them.<\/p>\n

The trio of 19th century advocates join famous men such as Alexander Hamilton and Hans Christian Andersen, plus fictional heroines like Alice in Wonderland and Juliet from \u201cRomeo and Juliet,\u201d in the 840-acre park.<\/p>\n

The suffragette statue was sponsored and funded by the organization Monumental Women, as part of its efforts to \u201cbreak the bronze ceiling\u201d by pushing for the commemoration of women\u2019s history in public spaces.<\/p>\n

It originally included just Stanton and Anthony, two white leaders of the fight for women\u2019s equality, while Truth, a black woman who escaped slavery and campaigned for abolition and women\u2019s rights, was added later.<\/p>\n

The unveiling was attended by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and elected officials including Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY).<\/p>\n

A Girl Scout troop that donated at least $2,000 in cookie sale funds to help pay for the statue was also looked on. One of the members, 13-year-old Jaya Shri, said the new monument was \u201creally amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it will inspire a lot of little girls to go out and do what they want to do,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
