Happy International Women’s Day!
(2016 update)
All over Italy this holiday is celebrated with mimosa flowers, given by men to the women in their life, or by women to their friends…
It’s 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…
At night, girlfriends get together and have fun…and maybe get a little wild...
Every State-Owned Museum in Italy offers FREE ADMISSION to Women on this day!
AND in Los Angeles, there will be a Celebration at

Women have always had to fight doubly, they have always had to carry two weights, the private and social. Women are the backbone of society.”
Wishing All of you Happy Celebrations!
Great post Susan, fantastic to see women celebrated and promoted so positively! Thanks for the background too! Lizzie
I’m glad women are appreciated for at least one day. There are a lot of ‘Rosie Riviters’ among the women of the world.
I agree 100%, it is great that a day was dedicated to remember the past, honor the present and inspire the future of women!
