Thanks
for your note to Feminist.com.
International Women's Day
is March 8th--I'm not sure
of the origin of it, but assume
that it was initiated by an
international women's group--or
even the United Nations. Given
that, the best places to go
for information about what
is being planned for that
day is to contact UNIFEM
(the women's group within
the United Nations: 304 E.
45th Street, 6th Floor New
York, NY 10017; (212) 906-6400
fax (212) 906-6705) or international
women's groups. To start,
I would contact the Women's
Environment and Development
Organization (WEDO) and
The
International Women's Tribune
Center--both located in
NYC; or The
Global Fund for Women,
located in Menlo Park, CA.
Personally, I think it should
be a day to celebrate women
and our accomplishments. In
that vein, I hope you spend
the day doing just that.
