Overview
When a group of New York City Girl Scouts learn in 2016 that there are no statues of women in Central Park, they organize and combine forces in a quest to change that shocking fact.
The girls raise funds, spread awareness, provide testimony, and convince city officials to erect the first monument of women in Central Park. What started out as a discovery on a field trip turns into a four-year process of not giving up or giving in. This powerfully true story chronicles how young girls made a significant impact through unity and perseverance.
"An inspiring story of passion and perseverance."—Diana Mahoney, CEO Girl Scouts of Connecticut

The goal, the Women's Rights Pioneers statue, inaugurated in 2020, a century after women won the right to vote."—Nancy Scott, Professor Emirita, Brandeis University
"I love this book! It's perfect for both girls and boys—and their parents. It makes the women in the monument colorfully come alive for all of us."—Brenda Feigen, American feminist activist, film producer & lawyer, former VP of NOW, co-founder of Ms. Magazine
