International Women's Day

We are women.  We come from a long line of beautiful, courageous women; our mothers, grandmothers, great grandmothers, and lost gone ancestors.  We come from a history of oppression, discrimination, and inequality; fighting for freedom; fighting for the right to celebrate being a woman.  

International Women's Day started in 1910 when several independent women's movements marched for the right to vote and to improve the horrible conditions women experienced.  These passionate women came together to create International Women's Day, a day to celebrate women's accomplishments, to reflect on change still needed to make the world a better place for women.
