International Women’s Day

By Jennyjinx | March 6, 2006

I would like to take this time to mention that Wednesday, March 8 is International Women’s Day 2006.

Global women’s organisation Aurora is calling on women, industry and governments around the world to commemorate International Women’s Day on 8 March. Celebrated annually since 1908, International Women’s Day (IWD) highlights women’s equality worldwide and inspires women to achieve their full potential. Celebrated globally from Alaska to Zambia, the day is declared a holiday in Russia where white flowers are given to women to mark the days of the early suffragettes. Even Google, the global search engine company, changes its logo to an IWD Google logo on 8 March.

So please commemorate this day by linking to 5 or more women bloggers. Also, take a moment to post about a woman in your life that has inspired you with her strength, wisdom, and love. This is especially important right now with the War on Women picking up steam. Women need to remember where we were, how far we’ve come, and who brought us here.
