\"International<\/h1>\n

Every year on March 8, many countries celebrate international women’s day.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h1>\n

This is not a very well known or very celebrated day in the United States.<\/span><\/h2>\n

Why? Probably because it happens on March 8 – which can be a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

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!<\/span><\/p>\n

Also, alas, we have little respect for women in the United States.<\/span><\/p>\n

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\u2019s rights and bodies.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, I know I was writing a book on the state of women in the United States.\u00a0 It just didn’t get done in the timeframe that I wanted it done so it\u2019s sitting mulling around in my brain and computer – but will be done this year.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

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.<\/span><\/h1>\n
