Women's Day For Beginners


Today is 

{In fact, it is the 100th anniversary of the holiday.}

I've really only seen this holiday celebrated in Europe,
but I think it's time the US got in on the celebration.

So if you are new to the holiday,
let me give you a few easy hints 
for getting in the spirit
of this fine day.

I'll be flexing my right to vote by picking a movie for tonight
Meet up with friend and chat up way to get involved with women's voting rights

Eat some girl food, like Ina Garten's curried pasta.

Flex the skills that your mama gave ya. Mine isn't baking, but I'm trying hard to master it.

Today is a celebration of the women who fought for women's voting rights.
This isn't a right for all women in the world...

"The victims of injustice in our world
do not need our spasm of passion;
they need our long obedience in the same direction.
They need our legs and lungs of endurance."


Our generation can be the generation
that changes future of so many.

So enjoy the day, 
and join the fight!

  1. Your celebration sounds just about perfect. Wish this was celebrated in the US, it sounds like a pretty perfect today. As for exercising your right to vote... you chose the exact same movie I would've picked! Just found out the boyfriend has never seen it!!!

  7. gloria steinem was on bill maher this past week and he was saying that there hasn't been a president since Kennedy asked Elanore Roosevelt to speak about (international) Women's day. kind of sad, right? i think it needs a revival for sure. we get paid .80 on the dollar and don't even get a day for celebration? boo. enjoy your movie tonight!! good way to celebrate.

  10. The U.S. really needs to get with the program! I have never heard of this, but I guess I'm already celebrating it today. I met a friend for coffee this morning and getting a manicure later today, so I'd say I'm off to a good start!

  14. I have NEVER heard of this holiday so a warm thank you for introducing it! Love the movie pick, it has always been a favorite.

    III AM 16 GOING ON SEVENTEENNNNN....

    I remember the day I turned 17 I was secretly (because when you are a teenager it's probably not cool to be obsessed with the sound of music...) devastated because the song no longer applied to me :)Haha.
