A white crocheted collar sits around the neck of a famous statue in New York.

The famous women's rights activist and Supreme Court judge, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, died on Friday.

Ginsburg made the collar on her black robe her trademark.

So now the little bronze girl is wearing it, too, with a fluttering dress and ponytail, her hands on her hips.

The work of art has long become a popular tourist attraction in New York.

For a year and a half the "Fearless Girl" stood directly across from the "Charging Bull" and looked fearlessly in the eye.

The statue of the US artist Kristen Visbal was unveiled on International Women's Day on March 8, 2017 and was meant to draw attention to the shortage of female executives in US companies.

Almost two years ago the girl statue had to move to another place in front of the stock exchange.

All over the world people have thought of Ruth Bader-Ginsburg.

US President Donald Trump wrote, "Our nation today mourns a titan of law. Her judgments, including the well-known decisions on legal equality for women and people with disabilities, have inspired all Americans and generations of great legal thinkers."

Presidential candidate Joe Biden said: "Today our nation mourns an American heroine, a jurist giant and a tireless voice in the struggle for the highest American ideal: equal rights before the law. Ruth Bader Ginsburg represented us all. She fought for us all. "

After Bader Ginsburg's death, I showed the New York MP, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, dismayed, but also combative: "We have lost a giant," she wrote on Instagram, "but I want to make one thing clear: we can - and we have to - fight. "
