I heard on KSBJ this morning that it was International Women's Day. Now being the History dork I am I headed online to see what I could find out. I found some information on the UN website that gave me a little history on the day.
The first International Women's Day was in 1909. Through the years countries all over the world have held rallies and parades in honor of women. These women of our past fought for equal pay, equal rights to vote, equal education. Things that we can easily take for granted.
These women paved the way for us...not only in the work world but also as examples of what WOMEN can do when they unite. Women are a strong force individually. Put a few together and they can literally change the world.
So today I am saying thank you to those women of the past. They have given us the chance to speak our minds, choose our own career paths, and stand up for others who are being opressed.
Thank you.
