InternationalWomen'sDay
Yes, today's the day. =P

Alright, today was pretty boring. Went to class and picked up some sticker we were SUPPOSED to wear on out shirt or something but it kept slipping off >< So I stole Kee's and put it on my waterbottle. Serves him right for not wanting to wear one...=P

Alright...let's do some research!

"The first IWD was observed on 28 February 1909 in the United States following a declaration by the Socialist Party of America. Among other relevant historic events, it commemorates the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire (New York, 1911), where over 140 women lost their lives. The idea of having an international women's day was first put forward at the turn of the 20th century amid rapid world industrialization and economic expansion that led to protests over working conditions. Women from clothing and textile factories staged one such protest on 8 March 1857 in New York City. The garment workers were protesting what they saw as very poor working conditions and low wages. The protesters were attacked and dispersed by police. These women established their first labor union in the same month two years later"

"The day remains an official holiday in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Bulgaria, China (Half a day), Cuba, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Macedonia, Moldova, Mongolia, Russia, Tajikistan, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Eastern Europe & Eastern part of the world and Vietnam, and is observed by men giving the women in their lives - mothers, wives, girlfriends, colleagues, etc., flowers and small gifts. In some countries it is also observed as an equivalent of Mother's Day, where children also give small presents to their mothers and grandmothers."

Well seriously, who started all this? =P

And more seriously, why don't we get a holiday? >=(

Okay okay, pretty bored now, I'll go blog later, when I have something to talk about at least...^^


Countdown on 7!
