Sadie Hawkins Day is a fun holiday based on a comic strip character. Over the decades, it has developed into a well-known celebration. Sadie Hawkins was created by a man called Al Capp. He wrote a now-classic cartoon called Li'l Abner. He worked on this from 1934 to 1977. Ms Hawkins lived in a small rural community in the fictional 1 town of Dogpatch. She waited and waited and waited for a marriage proposal, but none came. At the age of 35, her father struck upon an idea to marry off his daughter. He decided 2 to name a day after his daughter. There was a special event on this day. Sadie had to chase all the unmarried men in the town. Whoever she caught, she would marry.


The bachelor chase in the cartoon strip is still observed today in many places in the USA. The most common events are special parties at which girls can approach boys and ask them to dance. The parties are sometimes called "WPAs" (Women Pay All) or "Turnabout". Obviously, this is because the girls invite the boys and pay for dinner and dance tickets, etc. These events are declining in popularity. In 1952, there were over 40,000 Sadie Hawkins Day events. Nowadays, with the rise of the modern feminist 3 movement, it has become more of a fun event. It is common today to “go dutch,” which is when a man and woman split the bill at a restaurant.
