Bella Abzug
Bella Savitsky Abzug (July 24, 1920 – March 31, 1998), nicknamed "Battling Bella", was an American lawyer, U.S. Representative, social activist and a leader of the Women's Movement. In 1971, Abzug joined other leading feminists such as Gloria Steinem and Betty Friedan to found the National Women's Political Caucus. She declared, "This woman's place is in the House—the House of Representatives," in her successful 1970 campaign. She was later appointed to chair the National Commission on the Observance of International Women's Year and to plan the 1977 National Women's Conference by President Gerald Ford and led President Jimmy Carter's commission on women.
== Early life ==
Bella Savitsky was born on July 24, 1920, in New York City. Both of her parents were Russian Jewish immigrants. Her mother, Esther,〔 was a homemaker and her father, Emanuel〔 ran the Live and Let Live Meat Market.
When her father died, Abzug, then 13, was told that her orthodox synagogue did not permit women to say the Mourner's Kaddish, since that rite was reserved for sons of the deceased. However because her father had no sons, she went to the synagogue every morning for a year to recite the prayer, defying the tradition of her orthodox congregation.〔Jaffe-Gill, Ellen, editor ''The Jewish Woman's Book of Wisdom'', Citadel Press, 1998 Abzug, Bella "No One Could Have Stopped Me" p. 4, p. 74〕
Abzug graduated from Walton High School in New York City, where she was class president,〔 and went on to Hunter College of the City University of New York, later earning a law degree from Columbia University in 1947.〔 She then went on to do further post-graduate work at the Jewish Theological Seminary of America.
