For more than a century, International Women’s Day has been celebrated each year on the 8 March. In many countries, it’s a recognised official holiday.
And why not?
Here in Hobart, we celebrate colonisation, an agricultural show with little actual agriculture, and something called a Regatta, which we’re led to believe is a boat race of sorts. Why not celebrate the most fabulous of the fabulous of the sexes?
WOMEN!
If you can’t get the day off, here’s some ideas to celebrate our day:
- Ring your girlfriends and organise to go out for champas after work.
- Go look in your wardrobe and find your most favourite ensemble to
don. Strut ya stuff, grrl, you sexy!
- Get angry about discrimination, sexism and disadvantage that women
continue to experience. Do something about it!
- Go out in the world, and tell other women they rock!
- Believe in yourself and express your opinion!
- Whack your middle finger skywards and eat A LOT of cake.
- Look at yourself in the mirror. No… really…LOOK. You.
Are. Wonderful.
And remember, with all the frocks and fun in the world, go visit some people doing tremendous stuff for women:
