I Am Woman...Hear Me Roar!

International Women's Day is when the world celebrates the economic, political and social achievements of present women, those who walked before us and the little girls who will one day carry our torches. Today, be Proud of what we've accomplished, Dream of the things we can and will do and then Act on those goals you've pushed aside.

To celebrate, check out the festivities near you, view Reuters' wonderful slideshow of Women Living In Extraordinary Times or honor your own special lady by adding her to the International Museum of Women's map and then reading the inspiring stories pouring in from around the world.

P.S. Am I the only one who didn't even know there was an International Museum of Women?!

  8. A museum you say? I only had a small post, almost as dry as toast. Love the blog, and the title.

  10. Nobody gave me a gift for woman's day. No one even congratulated me on succeeding at being a woman. Life with a vagina is not celebrated enough.
