New York Life honors women's history
New York Life has announced a grant of $500,000 toward the creation of Central Park's first statues of real women, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony. New York Life is the only corporate sponsor of The Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony Statue Fund.
These statues will represent the varied roles women have played in history and remind people to examine social change movements to learn from the past and do a better job of carrying on the fight for equal rights and justice in the future, including the rights to vote.
Of interest, in addition to New York Life's commitment to diversity and women's issues, this grant was appealing to the company due to the proud historic relationship New York Life had with the Anthony family. Susan B. Anthony used money from her New York Life insurance policy to guarantee that women students would be admitted to the University of Rochester. In addition, Anthony's father and several male relatives were New York Life agents. www.newyorklife.com
