Today March 8th marks the 100th anniversary of International Women’s Day.
In Russia this was an annual celebration that girls and women all looked forward to. I remember St. Petersburg, the city I was born in, had the aroma of the Mimosa, the only affordable flower in March in the Soviet Union.
All men fought their way to buy a bunch, so they can present it to their wives, mothers, and daughters.
One hundred years ago, on the very first International Women's day, a woman's place was on the farm or in the home. Women were defined by the man they married.
Now women, can do absolutely anything and so much more.
We've come along way from then. Last night, I got all teary when Kathryn Bigelow won the first ever female best director award at the Oscars
Here’s to hoping we go even further in the next 100 years.
Happy Women’s Day Girlfriends!
In the UK we had Sky have all female news presenters and our Prime Minsters wife was a guest editor on a newspaper.
I also love that Kathryn Bigelow won an Oscar.
It’s also only 82 years since women won the right to vote I wonder what we will be doing in another 82 years ....
Thank you Yana. I have not yet been to St Petersburg but it is on my list. When I do get there I will think of you and Mimosa!
(I have visited Moscow and taken the train on the Trans Siberian railway.)

I have never saw Mimosa or smelled them since I left Russia. For some reason I assumed they were never grown in the US. I’ll have to call my florist.
Thanks Yana! Right back at you and all the ladies of Fab40.
I got teary too...and I only heard it on the radio!
I also hear a story yesterday on the Tavis Smiley show (NPR) about the first all-African American WOMEN flight crew that recently flew in the USA. It wasn’t planned and the didn’t realize what a big deal it was until the found out the picture that was taken of the 4 of them(Captain,First Officer & two attendants) at the gate was all over the net!
We’ve come a long way babies!
Aw, my dear friend, you have such a warm and soft heart. You are a Russian how cool is that. Let’s start the women’s Russian mafia, LOL, we are women and we are proud, cheers and thumbs up. I love you, darski
I’ve never heard of a mimosa flower, only the drink!
We’ve come a long way, haven’t we?
