Bella's Children[edit]

The summary lists three children, Stephen, Richard, and Dana. The article itself says she and her husband had two children, Eve and Liz. The article goes on to mention recent activities of Liz (possibly Elizabeth?). Since I once knew Liz Abzug, who actually introduced me to Bella, that name at least must be right. Where did the other names come from? Did Bella have other children by another marriage or out of wedlock? Or were some of them Martin's children by some other relationship?

NPOV dispute - Legislative Career[edit]

The current text reads "She suffered in Congress with sexist double-standards such as being called 'outspoken' when a man would be called 'determined." I can find no sourced record of this occurring as stated – someone seems to simply be asserting a viewpoint. The link to the NY Times obituary referenced by the immediately following sentence does not mention anything of these double-standards, only her self-acknowledged radicalism. 128.135.171.89 (talk) 21:15, 24 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It was commentary and I have removed it along with the tag.--Jersey Devil (talk) 04:02, 14 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Presidential candidate?[edit]

Categories says she was, article makes no mention. Шизомби (talk) 14:39, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed, apparently. I don't know when or by whom. I don't recall her running for the Presidency; although it's very likely someone promoted the idea as an aspiration, that's not the same as her making a serious run for it. Nick Levinson (talk) 03:16, 12 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"She was not mentioned in the news" (?)[edit]

In the penultimate graf of the "Legal and Political Career" section is an obviously false assertion (though footnoted). The offending sentence reads "However, she was not mentioned in the news and the coverage was only about the male candidates." On the contrary, the NY Times' lead headline over the primary-election story the next day begins "MONAHAN EDGES OUT MRS. ABZUG." https://www.nytimes.com/1976/09/15/archives/voter-turnout-light-santucci-is-apparent-winner-for-state-senate.html?rref=collection%2Ftimestopic%2FAbzug%2C%20Bella&action=click&contentCollection=timestopics&region=stream&module=stream_unit&version=latest&contentPlacement=109&pgtype=collection

As a new wikipedian I didn't want to just delete without consultation, but respectfully, this sentence needs to go. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dave082829 (talk • contribs) 14:00, 31 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
