I understand that the parialment ?? is it, has separated out 1/3 of all
congressional positions for women in India, is that so??  It would be wonderful if true. Would that all nations followed this example..............all, meaning Saudi Arabia and China, etc. Not to mention my own misguided nation.

This is very interesting, Nita. Do you also celebrate the Women's World Day of Prayer? I'm pretty sure it has come from India at least once in previous years.

I guess Clara Zetkin's is the day that is taken as the first women's day -
that is in 1911

This is an interesting post. I never see anything about it here in the states. I am so fortunate to have a husband who is all for the power a woman needs as her choice and should never be curtailed. Be blessed dear lady. I love your informative posts.
