International Women’s Day
Thanks to the lovely and talented Cris Zimermann of sister blog, Business Opportunities Brasil, I found out today is International Women’s Day.
International Women’s Day is the story of ordinary women as makers of history; it is rooted in the centuries-old struggle of women to participate in society on an equal footing with men. In ancient Greece, Lysistrata initiated a sexual strike against men in order to end war; during the French Revolution, Parisian women calling for “liberty, equality, fraternity” marched on Versailles to demand women’s suffrage.
