Do you think Sadie Hawkins Day still feels relevant today? It became a woman empowering rite at high schools and college campuses, long before the modern feminist movement gained prominence. The girls would spend weeks decorating a corsage for the boys to wear, usually a stuffed toy with ribbons and trinkets hanging from it.



In Li'l Abner, Sadie Hawkins was the daughter of one of 's earliest settlers, Hekzebiah Hawkins. When she reached the age of 35, still a , her father was worried about Sadie living at home for the rest of her life. A foot race was decreed, with Sadie pursuing the town's eligible bachelors. She was specifically interested in a handsome boy named Adam who was already in a courtship with a cute girl, Theresa, whose father was the area's largest potato farmer, Bill Richmand, and, unlike Sadie, had a number of courtship offers. Adam was invited to the race because Miss Theresa and Adam weren't actually engaged. With matrimony as the consequence of losing the foot race, the bachelors of the town were running for their freedom. Adam scored fourth place out of 10, leaving John Jonston as Sadie's prize. It is possible that the concept's origins are in an inversion of the myth of , who, reluctant to marry, agreed to wed whoever could outrun her in a footrace. When ah fires agin—- after givin' yo' a fair start—- Sadie starts a runnin'. Th' one she ketches'll be her husbin. If a woman caught a bachelor and dragged him, kicking and screaming, across the finish line before sundown, by law he had to marry her. Sadie Hawkins Day was first mentioned in the November 15, 1937 Li'l Abner daily comic strip, with the race actually being depicted between November 19 and November 30. It would prove to be an annual feature of Li'l Abner. Capp originally created it as a comic , but by the early 1940s the comic strip event had acquired a life of its own. By 1952, Sadie Hawkins Day was reportedly celebrated at 40,000 known venues. It became a day-long event observed in the United States on the first Saturday after November 9. The practical basis of a real Sadie Hawkins Day is one of simple traditional gender. Women and girls take the initiative by inviting the man or boy of their choice out on a date—rare before 1937—typically to a dance attended by other bachelors and their assertive dates. When Capp created the event, it wasn't his intention to have it occur annually on a specific date because it inhibited his plotting. However, due to its enormous popularity and the numerous fan letters he received, Capp obligingly made it a tradition in the strip every November, lasting four decades.
