Are We Roaring Yet?*

International Women's Day was first observed in the US in 1909, according to http://www.internationalwomen'sday.org , after the NYC march the previous year by those who thought they should get equal pay for equal work.

Unlike Mother's Day, the day was not meant to drive Hallmark greeting card sales but presumably do something more.

More of what probably depends on your POV.

If you observe International Women's Day and month, is it because you feel strongly about:

Equal pay?

Freedom of choice over your body?

Greater representation in government?

While not getting involved politically in today's and this month's activities other than this post, Pearl does feel strongly about the issue of female body image, having spent her adolescence pudgy. Instead, we'll let the Divine Miss M explain it all for you in the video below:
