HAPPY WOMEN’S DAY

The chief excitement in a
woman’s life is spotting women who are fatter than she is. HAPPY WOMEN’S DAY

Sure God created man before woman.
But then you always make a rough draft before the final masterpiece.

The idea of an International Women’s Day first arose at
the turn of the century, which in the industrialized world was a period of
expansion and turbulence, booming population growth and radical ideologies.

On 8 March 1857, women working in clothing and textile
factories (called ‘garment workers’) in New York City, in the United States, staged a protest. They were fighting
against inhumane working conditions and low wages. The police attacked the
protestors and dispersed them. Two years later, again in March, these women
formed their first labour union to try and protect themselves and gain some
basic rights in the workplace.

On 8 March 1908, 15,000 women marched through New York City demanding shorter work hours, better pay,
voting rights and an end to child labour. They adopted the slogan “Bread
and Roses”, with bread symbolizing economic security and roses a better
quality of life. In May, the Socialist Party of America designated the last Sunday in February for
the observance of National Women’s Day.
