NYC approves first Central Park monument honoring women

NEW YORK (AP) — New York City has approved a Central Park monument featuring — for the first time — accomplished women.
A city commission voted Monday to erect the tribute to three civil rights pioneers: Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Sojourner Truth.
The famous park currently has 23 statues of men who left their mark on history. There’s not a single female — unless you count fictional characters like Mother Goose and Alice in Wonderland.
