I do not usually celebrate or publicly mark obscure holidays observed in the U.S. and other countries. This one feels different.
As a lifelong feminist who has always been proud to use that word and to actively support the rights and development of women, I would share three links with you:
Google’s Doodle for the day; InternationalWomensDay.com theme for the year; and InternationalWomensDay.com action page.
Look at all of them and determine what you will do today to improve parity for women and girls.
Steps may be large or small, simple or complex, public or private. Please feel free to share this post as your action to take a step toward parity for women. Your wife, your sister, your daughter, your mother, your friend… will thank you.
And do enter your comments below.
