Sandbox Activity #6 - "Miss America Protest"

"Feminists at the Miss America Pageant" and "Feminists turn the Miss America Pageant"


Back in the days of 1968, people believed that pageants were creating feminism.  But what they don’t know is that pageants were meant to help better women in a positive way.  Also, the pageants were meant to influence women to get a higher education because in their way of thinking is that men shouldn’t have the upper hand and women should.  So, feminists protested at the Miss America Pageant in 1968.
