Awesome Women of History

March is Women's History Month in the US, and this past week has been International Women's Week.   So in honor of that some members of the Hive Mind at the Feminist Armchair Regime have decided to write a little about their favorite women from history (or should we say Herstory).

International Women's Day

Happy International Women's Day! 

International Women's Day was first observed in 1911 as International Working Women's Day.  In 1977 the United Nations declared March 8th as UN Day for Women's Rights and International Peace.  Today is the day for celebrating women, for looking at all we have achieved, and for all that must be achieved for gender equality to be a reality.
