journée internationale de la femme
.
bread and roses!
the "Bread and Roses strike", a textile strike in Lawrence, Massachusetts during January-March 1912, largely held by women! inspiring many chants and slogans thereafter... they apparently said: "we want bread, but we want roses too!"
i think it should be a national holiday everywhere, so women have time to get together, whether it be for actions or simply celebrating their sex!
wikipedia says:
international woman's day "remains an official holiday in Armenia, Russia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Bulgaria, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Macedonia, Moldova, Mongolia, Tajikistan, Ukraine, Uzbekistan and Vietnam, and is observed by men giving the women in their lives - mothers, wives, girlfriends, colleagues, etc., flowers and small gifts."
