Women's International Day: March 8th 2021
Today is Women’s International Day and many are unsure of what exactly it is that we commemorate this day. So we want to share a little more about what it is that we celebrate today and how this applies to the Spring Industry today. Women’s International day is a day to commemorate and generate awareness of the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women all over the world.
Many have asked why it is important or necessary to do so, and one important reason is the limited rights women had a hundred years ago. A perfect example of this is the fact that women did not legally have the right to vote until 1920 when on August 18, 1920, the 19th amendment granted women the right to vote. This was a great advancement for women and it took the diligent focus of many women and men fighting for the human rights of women and this is something that we recall today.
