CELEBRATION: international women's day

started in 1909 by the socialist party of america, International Women's Day stands to celebrate the economic, political and social achievements of women.

recognized most of the world over as a national holiday, it has begun to represent less of the social/economic/political advancements of women and instead become a combination of valentines day and mothers day.

this year, IWD focuses its sights on ending violence against women and girls the world over. a much better holiday then valentines day!
