Why do feminists burn bras?

Over 60 years ago, on September 7th, a group of women started a protest against a Miss America beauty pageant. The movement created the ‘bra-burning feminist’ image. They installed the ‘Freedom Trash Can,’ meant to be the place for all the things that oppressed women, such as lipsticks, bras, wigs, and high heels. Everything that put a label on women was supposed to go in that trash can.
