Happy International Women’s Day!
All over Italy on March 8, this holiday is celebrated with mimosa flowers, given by men to the women in their life, or by women to their friends. The flower represents strength, sensitivity, and resilience. It was chosen by Italian women to symbolize the holiday in 1946–a time when women’s contributions in World War II were recognized.
International Women’s Day is a global day to celebrate all female achievements–past, present, and future. Courageous women began it in the early 1900s, holding demonstrations for the right to vote and for equal pay and working conditions.
The Union of Italian Women officially declared March 8 Women’s Day in 1945.The scent of mimosas is everywhere, reminding us that spring is near…
Girlfriends get together and have fun…and maybe get a little wild...with Mimosa cocktails…
AND Mimosa cake…
