A statue honoring three suffragettes, Sojourner Truth, Susan B. Anthony, and Elizabeth Cady Stanton was unveiled in Central Park on Wednesday. Organizers say it is the first statue of nonfictional women in the history of the park. Sculptor Meredith Bergmann's monument took its permanent place among the 23 statues of men and two fictional women - Mother goose and Alice in Wonderland - currently in the park. The effort was organized by the nonprofit Monumental Women which raised $1.5  million to fund the statue.
