Happy International Womans day to all the women in my life whore directly and indirectly connected in my life, be it my mother, my wife, my daughters, sisters, my friends. You all deserve a grand applause on this special day and being there in my life. “Woman is the companion of man, gifted with equal mental capacity.” —MKG “Women are leaders everywhere you look — from the CEO who runs a Fortune 500 company to the housewife who raises her children and heads her household. Our country was built by strong women, and we will continue to break down walls and defy stereotypes.” — Nancy Pelosi, former speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives “Nobody can make you feel inferior without your permission.” — Eleanor Roosevelt, former first lady of the United States International Women’s Day, on March 8 in 2014, has been observed since the early 1900s. That was a time of great unrest and debate among women, as they struggled against inequality and oppression. The first time the day was officially observed was in 1909, when it was celebrated on the last Sunday in February. In the present age, it’s an official holiday in a host of countries, including Afghanistan, Russia, and Zambia. “The tradition sees men honoring their mothers, wives, girlfriends, colleagues, etc with flowers and small gifts. In some countries IWD has the equivalent status of Mother’s Day where children give small presents to their mothers and grandmothers,” according to the day’s official website. Women have served all these centuries as looking glasses possessing the magic and delicious power of reflecting the figure of a man at twice its natural size.” — Virginia Woolf, writer Here are some important women in my life.
