Muppets star Miss Piggy will finally have her achievements for women recognised when the Brooklyn Museum grants her a feminist award on Thursday.

According to Reuters, the presentation of the Elizabeth A Sackler Center for Feminist Art award will include a conversation with women's rights campaigner Gloria Steinem and a 20-minute career retrospective.

"Moi is thrilled, but frankly, not surprised to be receiving this Sackler Center First Award," Miss Piggy said in a statement.

"It is truly wonderful to be celebrated and share this honor with fellow legends, role models, and pioneers of female fabulosity. We rock!"

It is expected that on-again, off-again boyfriend Kermit will be in attendance at the event.

Elizabeth A Sackler, president of the centre, said Miss Piggy embodies exceptional spirit, determination and grit and has taught important lessons about overcoming obstacles to generations of fans.
