Sadie Hawkins Day, an American folk event, made its
debut in Al Capp’s Li’l Abner strip on November 15, 1937.  Sadie Hawkins was “the homeliest gal in the
hills” who grew tired of waiting for the fellows to come a courtin’.  Her father, Hekzebiah Hawkins, a prominent
resident of Dogpatch, was even more worried about Sadie living at home for the
rest of his life, so he decreed the first annual Sadie Hawkins Day, a foot race
in which the unmarried gals pursued the town’s bachelors, with matrimony the
consequence.  By the late 1930s the event
had swept the nation and had a life of its own. Life magazine reported over 200 colleges holding Sadie Hawkins Day
events in 1939, only two years after its inception. It became a
woman-empowering rite at high schools and college campuses, long before the
modern feminist movement gained prominence.
