with the rise of second-wave feminism and the civil rights movement during the 1960s, the miss america pageant became the subject of a series of protests that attacked it as sexist, racist, and part of u.s. militarism. the first demonstration took place during the miss america 1969 pageant held on september 7, 1968 (won by miss illinois 1968, judith ford), when about 200 members of the group new york radical women demonstrated as part of the miss america protest. bev grant's photographs of this event have become iconic. in addition, a pamphlet distributed at the protest by robin morgan, "no more miss america!", became a source for feminist scholarship. the protest was co-sponsored by florynce kennedy's media workshop, an activist group she founded in 1966 to protest the media's representation of african americans, along with the feminist jeanette rankin brigade and the aclu. morgan later stated that the miss america pageant "was chosen as a target for a number of reasons: it has always been a lily-white, racist contest; the winner tours vietnam, entertaining the troops as a 'murder mascot'; the whole gimmick is one commercial shillgame to sell the sponsor's products. where else could one find such a perfect combination of american values—racism, militarism, sexism—all packaged in one ‘ideal symbol,’ a woman." the protesters compared the pageant to a county fair where livestock are judged. they thus crowned a sheep as miss america and symbolically destroyed a number of feminine products, including false eyelashes, high-heeled shoes, curlers, hairspray, makeup, girdles, corsets, and bras. burning the contents of a trash can was suggested, but a permit was unobtainable; news media seized on the similarity between draft resisters burning draft cards and women burning their bras. in fact, there was no bra burning, nor did anyone remove her bra. the women's liberation front later demonstrated at the miss america 1971 pageant.
