Today is International Women's Day, and this year's theme is "Equal rights, equal opportunity: Progress for all."I've already read great posts from Cara, Zohra, Deborah, and Anna—and PhDork notes how to find IWD events here.
Gender Across Borders is hosting a blogswarm, compiling all the participating bloggers, which I can't recommend enough. Definitely check it out. (And note the unfortunate gender-imbalance of its participants: I despair to see the dearth of male allies, especially on the theme of "Equal rights, equal opportunity: Progress for all.")
I feel obliged to try to write something profound for International Women's Day, but, the truth is, I just want to recommit to treating every day as a day in which it is important to fight for international justice for women.
I am a practicing feminist, and I wield a teaspoon. ô,ôP
