International Women’s Day

International Women’s Day on 8th March is now celebrated in different ways around the world. Originally started as a political day, over the years it has now segued into more of a celebration of spring and femininity especially in nations such as Russia, and also in Eastern Europe, where it is a public holiday. Apparently, beauty products and perfume are popular gifts to celebrate the day and some companies even buy their female staff gifts! I like the sound of this. So, I know I have some Russian and Eastern European readers out there and just wanted to say:

C Международным женским днем!

  2. Haha! That’s true you have Russian readers and thank you for the congratulations :))) Have a nice Women’s day too.

  3. Haha you have Russian indeed. Thank you for nice greetings 🙂 And have a good Women’s Day too. It’s fun.

  4. what a wonderful idea, shame they won’t do it over in the UK would create such a positive outlook for women in modern times. (Do you think I can use it as an excuse to get my husband to cook for the night?)

    Happy woman’s day everyone! x

  5. I’m from Ukraine, so I miss all the celebration, but more of the AWARENESS that this day is exist! At least in UK people know about it, when in US barely anyone does 🙁 (I live in US too).

  6. It is certainly not a day off in Poland, though women still often receive small gifts or flowers.

  7. Women in China (I suppose this is more of a communist/socialist holiday) get half a (or a whole) day off as well. Sometime I just think the existence of the holiday emphasizes the different treatment women get (highlight that we are “weaker” thus need a special day to celebrate being what we are).

    С 8 марта! Пусть первый подснежник подарит Вам нежность, весеннее солнце подарит тепло, а мартовский ветер подарит надежду, и счастье, и радость, и только добро!)))
