Today we celebrated International Women’s Day, that special day set aside to honour the female gender.
On October 18th, 1929 women were declared “persons†under Canadian law.
One day equality…
We’ve come a long way, us women; and there’s yet a ways to go.
But the fact remains…
We’re women everyday; mothers, daughters, sisters, wives, friends, lovers, neighbours… and everything else.
One day, in a perfect world we will have no need for special days honouring a specific set of people.
And in that perfect world, there will be no need to erect memorials to honour people we’ve wronged.
Until that day…
Happy International Women’s Day!
