INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY *** MARCH 8

The WOMEN of Russia started International Women’s Day in 1909,

and they’re still the premier celebrators of the March 8 holiday.

Around the world, the event is a way to honor women’s contributions to history.

INTERNATIONAL WOMAN’S DAY was originally started as a Socialist political event, the holiday blended in the culture of many countries (primarily Russia and the countries of former Soviet bloc). In some celebrations, the day lost its political flavour, and became simply an occasion for men to express their love to the women around them in a way somewhat similar to Mother’s Day and St Valentine’s Day mixed together.

In others, however, the political and human rights theme as designated by the United Nations runs strong, and political and social awareness of the struggles of women worldwide are brought out and examined in a hopeful manner.

But in Russia, the festivities go a step further – men and boys are expected to bestow presents on all the women in their lives. 

A Celebration of  Women supports the loving side of this Woman’s Day.   Whether is be your Mother, Wife, Sister, Daughter, Lover, Friend, Business partner OR nemesis…..enjoy the following suggestions:

Here are some suggestions to think about: 

• Step 1- Think about the women, living and dead, who have helped shape your life. Do something they (or at least a few of them) would have liked.
• Step 2- Consider cooking their favorite food, planting their favorite flowers in your garden or sending a check to their favorite charity.
• Step 3- Tell your family-children about the women you admire most. Talk about both the ones you’ve known personally and those you’ve only read about in books.
• Step 4- Tour an art museum near you and pay special attention to the work of female artists.
•  Step 5- Have a party and invite all the women you never get to spend enough time with.
• Step 6-Shower the women in your life with wonderful gifts (if you’re a man).
• Step 7- Accept graciously when the men in your life shower you with gifts (if you’re a woman).
