ON THIS DAY: In 1966, the National Organization for Women was founded in Washington, DC, at the Third National Conference on the Commission on the Status of Women (see now.org for more info). Strong women were making a nuisance of themselves long before they were officially organized, as Katherine Hepburn proves in 1942's WOMAN OF THE YEAR, in which she plays a journalist who bedevils and bewitches fellow writer Spencer Tracy.
