INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY 01.. INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY, which has existed for more than 100 years, was the product of an era marked by rapid change and upheaval in the industrialized world. As the planets population grew and the demand for labor increased, and as new ideologies took shape, WOMEN WERE THRUST INTO A BRAVE NEW WORLD AND CONFRONTED WITH A HOST OF CHALLENGES. The first day dedicated to women was established in 1911, and it was observed for the first time in Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland on March 19, when more than 1 million people attended rallies around the world to assert WOMEN’S RIGHT TO WORK, VOTE, BE TRAINED AND HOLD PUBLIC OFFICE. Two years later, the day was officially changed to March 8, the date on which its been celebrated globally ever since as International Women’s Day. 02.. “Woman is the companion of man, gifted with equal mental capacity.” – (Ghandi) 03.. “Nobody can make you feel inferior without your permission.” – (Eleanor Roosevelt) 04.. “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) 05.. “I believe that it is as much a right and duty for women to do something with their lives as for men and we are not going to be satisfied with such frivolous parts as you give us.” – (Louisa May Alcott) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 06. “If you want something said, ask a man; if you want something done, ask a woman.” – (Margaret Thatcher) 07.. “ONE IS NOT BORN A WOMAN, ONE BECOMES ONE.” – (SIMONE DE BEAUVOIR) (I used to have a friend, a woman, WHO did not like this quote because its author was a leftist) 08.. “Women are the real architects of society.” – (Harriet Beecher Stowe) 09.. “Being a woman is a terribly difficult task, since it consists principally in dealing with men.” – (Joseph Conrad) 10..
