"Bella Savitsky Abzug", nicknamed ""Battling Bella"", was an United States/American lawyer, United States House of Representatives/U.S. Representative, social activist and a leader of the Feminist Movement in the United States (1963–1982)/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 United States House of Representatives/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 of the United States/President Gerald Ford and led President Jimmy Carter's commission on women.
