women's day

oh yes it is the 8th of march and it is the day tht is celebrated as the international women's day
well it is the day that marks the progress of women to get equality in this so called men dominated world.....
this day was first observed at the turn of the 20th century
actually it used to be observed on the last sunday of february by the europeans before world war 1
then it was observed in march by western nations
but later it again came back to february
well a big movement by the parisian women was thier march to versellies which marked the suffrage movement that in the end led to women being given the right to vote, hold public posts....
well still they had to fight for their right towards vocational training etc...


they have always been a part of history. they havebeen part of movements to bring peace and spread the message of love in the world
for example the greece women once went on a sexual strike to bring to end a prolonging war.
similarly this day also shows how all the women through out the world come forward to geather and celebrate the liberty of women in this world.
but i don't yet understand that how did the concept of women being an weaker sex originated......
and that to not only in any particular place but through out the world
like renaissance actually brought some civil attitude to societies but its really a mystifying thing for me that how the status of women degraded .

i raise a toast to all the women who showed the world the power that women can be as influential to the society as men are......
cheers
