Sadie Hawkins Day, an American folk event, made its debut in Al Capp's Li'l Abner strip 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 1930's 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. The basis of Sadie Hawkins Day is that women and girls take the initiative in inviting the man or boy of their choice out on a date, typically to a dance.

this is so wrong, on Feb, 29, 1968, I was told the that was Sadie Hawkins day,
and i either had to Marry this who ask me to marry her, or buy her a new dress,
well being the tight wad that I am, I opted for the marriage, as it turned out, she didn't have a thing to wear, and I ended up buying her the dress that she was married in also.
almost 40 years later, she is still telling me what to do.
of course my hearing isn't as good as it used to be.

We had Sadie Hawkins dances in high school. I'd ask Wally. That way between dances we could discuss books and authors.

Thank god, the question is directed to ladies. Had it been to men I would have much difficulty in pinpointing a candidate.The trouble with pins is all of them are hopelessly alike and ..and all of them prick.
