London's V&A Design Museum Acquires Pussyhat While New York's A Fearless Girl Goes Pink, Too

London's Victoria & Albert Museum Pussyhat Acquisition
On International Women's Day, a simple pink fashion accessory made of yarn and knitting needles has assumed its place in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. Home to the world's largest design and fashion collection, the V&A was called "an important acquisition" by museum curator Corinna Gardner who called it "an immensely recognizable expression of female solidarity and symbol of the power of collective action."

People are clamoring to make 'A Fearless Girl' a permanent fixture as a foil to the Wall Street'Charging Bull' sculpture, and our instincts suggest that we will all get our wish.
Pussyhats were celebrated worldwide yesterday, including in Parliaments honoring International Women's Day. Read on.
