Star-Spangled Women for McGovern–Shriver
Star-Spangled Women for McGovern–Shriver (styled as Star-Spangled Women for McGovern★Shriver) was a political variety show held on October 27, 1972, produced by Shirley MacLaine and Sid Bernstein as a late-campaign push to help the 1972 presidential campaign of George McGovern, running as the peace candidate. Also known as Star-Spangled Women for McGovern and simply Star-Spangled Women, the concert drew a near-capacity crowd at Madison Square Garden in New York City. With a dozen singing, dancing and spoken-word performances, rock journalist Lillian Roxon described the show as "one thunderbolt after another."

Bernstein reported that the event provided the McGovern campaign with $180,000 (). However, McGovern was not significantly helped by the concert; one week later he was defeated in a landslide by incumbent President Richard Nixon.
