Share |

International Women's Day, originally called International Working Women’s Day, is marked on March 8th every year. It is a celebration of respect, appreciation and love towards women as we celebrate women’s achievements in the economic, political and social realm. Awareness of the struggles of women worldwide are brought to the fore and examined in a hopeful manner on this day. Simply You says thank you as we commend the trailblazers of the past.


Florence Nightingale, a pioneer of modern nursing.  Princess Diana, admired for her groundbreaking philanthropy.  Marie Curie, the first woman to win a Nobel Prize in science. Rosa Parks, the African American civil rights activist whom the U.S. Congress later called Mother of the Modern-Day Civil Rights Movement. Mother Teresa, inspiring countless people to help the less fortunate.  Catherine the Great, exemplified the enlightened despot of her era. You go girls!
