Every year on March 8, many countries celebrate international women’s day. 

This is not a very well known or very celebrated day in the United States.

Why? Probably because it happens on March 8 – which can be a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday! 

We have come to love our holidays only if they happen on a Monday so that we can have three-day weekends and where you were encouraged to go out and Buy! Buy! Buy!

Also, alas, we have little respect for women in the United States.

This was shown in the last election go round and even up to right now – with all of the legislation going on and being presented in both the Congress and in statehouses and legislatures curtailing women’s rights and bodies.

Yes, I know I was writing a book on the state of women in the United States.  It just didn’t get done in the timeframe that I wanted it done so it’s sitting mulling around in my brain and computer – but will be done this year. 

So women – even though you don’t really have an official day here in the United States – you can celebrate with your sisters around the world and try to make it a better place for women in every country – including the United States.
