Happy International Women's Day
Mar. 8th, 2006 10:26 pmToday is International Women's Day, and I'm almost late with this here, but that's okay. Throughout the day I collected articles about IWD and favorite female blogs and all sorts of things. I love women (and not just in the pervy sexual way) and want to celebrate women. Plus when I got home from the gym (oh, I have a gym rant coming up, if I take the time to post it, damn gym), I taught my mom about IWD. Which, very cool, because she taught me a lot about being a strong woman who stands up for herself and goes after what she wants (in some ways because she didn't do those things when I was younger, but also because of the way she turned herself around and taught herself to be strong and stand up to men).
So anyway.
International Women's Day is the universal day that connects all women around the world and inspires them to achieve their full potential. It's a day to love women, to encourage them, to honor the work of past women, to take stock of what still needs to be done, and to celebrate women. We shouldn't need this day, every day should be a celebration of women and men, of life, of all nationalities, but it's not. Along with this, March is Women's History Month.
So I give you links about International Women's Day. Go tell the women you know how strong and wonderful they are, and how many great things you know they can do.

I was going to do a post of my favorite women around livejournal, but that's going to have to wait for another day. I think you're all wonderful smart and powerful and inspiring and dangerous, all my favorite things in the world.
