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.

This powerfully true story chronicles how young girls made a significant impact through unity and perseverance.
