Gone Girl: Lower Manhattan 'Fearless Girl' Statue Is 'On The Move'

Early Wednesday morning, a girl — about 4 feet tall with bronze hair, bronze shoes and a bronze dress — went missing.

She was last seen in the New York City financial district standing akimbo and facing down a large bull. She left only a pair of footprints and a not-so-cryptic message in her wake.

"Fearless Girl is on the move to The New York Stock Exchange," the message read. "Until she's there, stand for her."

She's on the move! #FearlessGirl is on her way to her new home. While she's away, #StandForHer

The Fearless Girl statue was originally placed adjacent to that of the Charging Bull in the northern corner of Bowling Green Park in March 2017. The group that installed the piece, State Street Global Advisors, says it did so "to raise awareness about the importance of gender diversity in corporate leadership."

The investment management firm claims that between the placement of the statue and late September, more than 300 companies have added a female director.

However, the firm and its statue have been a the center of a few controversies.
