Miss Piggy Is Getting A Feminist Icon Award

And some people aren't too happy about that.

The Brooklyn Museum’s Sackler Center First Awards, an annual award given to an extraordinary woman (or women), will be given to Miss Piggy at the June 4th ceremony. The puppet pig is following in the footsteps of women like former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, Anita Hill and writer Toni Morrison.

The award is named for Elizabeth Sackler, who founded the Center and became the first woman in the Brooklyn Museum’s 200-year history to be named board chair.
