A new podcast highlights Bella Abzug, the Bronx born feminist who changed politics

A new podcast aims to highlight the historic Bronx native, Battling Bella Abzug, a civil rights activist, political powerhouse and larger-than-life feminist icon.

Political Anchor for Spectrum News NY1, Errol Louis hosted a special two-part series of the “You Decide” podcast called, “Bella’s Battles” in which Louis and a chorus of New York’s political elite tell tales of a brazen go-getter who championed women, the poor, Black and Brown people and LGBTQ rights.

Louis peppered the series with audio of Abzug’s captivating speeches, like when she spoke to a group of women about the misconceptions of the feminist movement.

“I’ve been to hundreds of meetings of women, maybe thousands all over this country,” Abzug said in a recording. “I have yet to see a bra burned or a man exorcised, but I have seen the burning indignation of women in every single part of this country.”
