In 1970, when the United States was ruled by men, Bella Abzug challenged the status quo, running a successful campaign from the streets of Manhattan that elevated her all the way to the halls of Congress. With her trademark hat and Bronx swagger, Bella entered Congress swinging, battling for credit cards for women, equality for the LGBTQ community and trailblazing a path for leadership that reflected the broad diversity of the country.
This award-winning documentary explores Bella’s legacy and features Ms. Foundation co-founding mothers Gloria Steinem and Marlo Thomas, Maxine Waters, Hillary Clinton, and more. Thanks to all who were able to join us for the screening, and you can learn more about the documentary here!
