Madison Marlow’s first week of law school at Cardozo coincided with an important milestone in New York City: the installation of a new statue in Central Park commemorating the 19th Amendment Centennial, which represents “real” women – Sojourner Truth, Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Prior to this, all the statues in the park of women were representations of fictional women.

Marlow attended the unveiling of the statue on August 26.

Marlow, a Cardozo 1L who grew up in Colorado and California, worked in marketing and event planning with Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer's office prior to starting law school and was part of a team from Brewer's office who helped oversee the statue project.

She worked under the direction of colleague Penelope Cox and the nonprofit Monumental Women, who raised funds for the statue and is rolling out an education campaign for NYC schools about women's suffrage.
