Mother Cabrini Is the Heroine This City Needs!

Dear Editor: Once again, I congratulate The Tablet for covering this issue (“Mother Cabrini Statue Nixed Despite Vote,” Aug. 24) and this important, yes, very important omission from consideration by the Mayor, as well as the commission assigned to the task of reviewing the matter of increased numbers of statues to honor women of New York.
