From this Newspaper Article, that was around the time of the protest, we were introduced to the women behind the revolution. This is the article that we found out that Mrs. Robin Morgan was a part of the protest and that is how we found her book which is on feminism. We also found some of the protest signs that were used. Another thing we found was what the protesters put in their infamous “freedom trash can”. It consisted of padded bras, false eyelashes, magazines, and other makeup that represented how women had to dress up to impress.

The book said that the Women’s Liberation Movement made themselves well known during the live broadcast of the event. They also got charged with disorderly conduct for spraying a “noxious odor” (from Toni Home Permanent Spray which was a sponsor of the pageant) inside the mayor’s booth earlier in the evening.

Angela Grimke's Bearing Witness Against Slavery

1510 Words | 7 Pages

Because of sexist opinions of the time, many people believed that a woman had no power to create change, especially in government since she could not vote. Women themselves believed this societal expectation, and although Grimke does not reject society’s idea of femininity and womanhood entirely, she specifically rejects their supposed political incompetence in a rebuttal. Using evidence from general and specific political movements in England, all of which were greatly aided by the support of women petitioning the government, Grimke assured her audience that “When the women of these States send up to Congress such a petition our legislators will arise, as did those of England, and say: ‘When all the maids and matrons of the land are knocking at our doors we must legislate.’” (Grimke, 192) This summary of her somewhat vague past points is similarly nonspecific; however, this is still effective since simply alluding to historical events rather than explaining them was sufficient for an audience that knew more about England and its history than contemporary Americans do today.

Men believed that it was going to be hard to get the women to boycott, however it was not (Slavicek 17).
