NEW YORK (AP) — The "Fearless Girl" statue that inspired millions with her message of female empowerment has been removed from her spot opposite Wall Street's "Charging Bull."

State Street installed the girl in March 2017 as a temporary display intended to encourage corporations to put more women on their boards . New York City officials extended her stay after she became a favorite with tourists.
