Today is the 8th of March. What does it mean? It's a exellent holyday! For girls, especially... Never mind! I'm a girl, and it's a good day for me^____^
So, today's International Women's Day. Let Wikipedia tell us...
International Women's Day (IWD), originally called International Working Women’s Day, is marked on March 8 every year. In different regions the focus of the celebrations ranges from general celebration of respect, appreciation and love towards women to a celebration for women's economic, political and social achievements. Started as a Socialist political event, the holiday blended in the culture of many countries, primarily Eastern Europe, Russia, and the former Soviet bloc. In many regions, the day lost its political flavour, and became simply an occasion for men to express their love for women in a way somewhat similar to a mixture of Mother's Day and St Valentine's Day. In other regions, however, the original political and human rights theme designated by the United Nations runs strong, and political and social awareness of the struggles of women worldwide are brought out and examined in a hopeful manner.
Thanks, Wikipedia! And do you celebrate IWD? How if you do?

The strong women, Clara Zetkin and Rosa Luxemburg, wanted and got that day. And I agree with them. And I devote the song about strong women to the strong women
