International Women's Day 2011

In celebration of International Women's Day 2011, I want to be sure to mention this event at minimum, as I think women, in the first place, don't get enough credit for the central and hugely significant, positive roles they play in our societies--I think they largely help hold societies together--and secondly, because they are all too often treated from badly to horribly, in too many countries of the world:

International Women's Day (8 March) is a global day celebrating the economic, political and social achievements of women past, present and future. In some places like China, Russia, Vietnam and Bulgaria, International Women's Day is a national holiday.


So here's to International Women's Day and women around the world.  May we all one day be equal.
