The origins of International Women's Day, are strangely controversial. Even the history books provide different versions: some say that the Day of Women was established by the UN to commemorate the 129 workers, mostly Italian and Jewish descent, died in the fire of the Cotton New York (or Chicago?) the March 8, 1908. Who writes It was founded in Copenhagen, 29 August 1910, during the International Conference of Socialist Women (among other things, the alleged headquarters was demolished in those days), in memory of the great strike of textile workers in New York, which attended by 30,000 women, 8 March 1848. Other sources claim that it was Rosa Luxemburg (Polish Socialist woman, a Jewish family, in opposition to the reformers of the time, because, as an alternative to social reform, arguing for the dictatorship of the proletariat, but classy and not a small minority of managers in the name of the class) to proclaim the International Day of Struggle. In any case, this Day is not a party. It is a day of struggle, reflection and challenge. I always sorry to see so many mimosa trees destroyed and I never understood why you have to buy or give away the yellow bunch, to remind the "Men of Power", the problems of women. This would be enough to show individual data alone, that Otto is not a party in March. I do not understand, either, because many women take this day as if it were a carnival, to release the accumulated aggression at home with her husband, her children, to work with colleagues, with the employer and "forgiveness" on the evening of ' Eight in March, in squalid outputs with the theme: cheesy male strip shows and banquets. And to think that Only recently, a report by Amnesty International, we learned that one billion women worldwide each year are beaten, raped, mutilated, murdered by boyfriends, husbands, friends and family.
The Otto is a holiday in March? Let us meditate on the figure and, anyway, good luck to all!
