"Bella was born yelling" - and never stopped. #ThisWeekInHistory in 1920, trailblazing Congresswoman Bella Abzug came into the world ready to raise her voice.
A fierce leader in the women’s movement, she championed the Equal Rights Amendment, backed Title IX, and made sure women’s rights were always on the agenda

Bella Abzug | Jewish Women's Archive

A leader of the women’s movement, Bella Abzug fought to pass the Equal Rights Amendment and other vital legislation for the rights of women as a member of the House of Representatives. Towards the end of her career, she focused on global issues of women’s rights and human rights, ensuring that those issues were continually addressed by the United Nations.

A writer of lyrical and sometimes sentimental poetry, Malka Lee was one of the most beloved female poets writing in Yiddish in America during her lifetime. Her poems had great folk appeal to Yiddish readers as reflections of their own experiences in the Old World and the New.

Her early poems and essays explored her memories of Europe and the shtetls of her childhood, but her work after 1945 reflects her pain of observing the Holocaust, with its destruction of her family and childhood home, from the safety of distance in America.

She was born #ThisWeekInHistory in 1904. https://bit.ly/468uS7X

For the first time - #ThisWeekinHistory, wherein I look at the preceding week and write up a blog post with more info, musings, and sources on one of the #OnThisDay #OTD posts. This week, I was very excited to write about one of my favorite historical figures, Katherine of Aragon. In my longer post, I explore her death and "last letter" to her estranged husband, Henry VIII.
