2011 year marks the 100th anniversary of International Women’s Day. The day was commemorated for the first time on March 19, 1911 in Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland, following its establishment during the Socialist International meeting the prior year. More than one million women and men attended rallies on that first commemoration.
In 1975, during International Women's Year, the United Nations began celebrating 8 March as International Women's Day.

International Women’s Day… That was a Holiday my Motherland offered to all of us, an actual day off. Women would get gifts, flowers, recognition. In fact, during my entering examination to the university I had to write an essay “Role of women in society”. It was timed; we had 4 hours from the time the topic was announced. I did a pretty darn good job on that essay; of course it was in Russian.
Today I'd like to salute to the Women on Etsy! Hardworking, smart, talented, intelligent, beautiful, friendly, energetic, united… You name it, they fit that definition.
Here are some examples or their work:

Thanks for sharing! I recently bought a book called "Man Down," which is about how women are better than men at almost everything, based on scientific research :) It's pretty eye-opening!
