March 8th: The World Celebrates International Woman's Day!


     Professor Hamon spoke to us about "GENDER CRITICISM and the inequalities of women in the Literary World and in all aspects of life even in today's modern age.  
      In honor of all the women who have dared to shock, go against the grain and galvanized the paths and inspired hope for millions of us, today, March 8th, marks "INTERNATIONAL WOMAN'S DAY"       
      It's a day to highlight the importance of achieving equality for women and girls not simply of a matter of fundamental rights, but progress.   Companies with more women leaders perform better. Peace agreements that include women are more durable and women enact more legislation on key social issues like health, education, anti-discrimination and child support.  Equality for women means progress for all!  
       I have gathered some powerful quotes of some of the women who are my heroines.  They have helped other women persevere and prosper throughout the years and who have inspired me the most....




James Bond supports "INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY",  his boss, "M", has a few words to say about that!!

Please write your comments, share your thoughts on what does this day means to you and the women that have made an impact in your life.

  3. In the middle east woman don't have to many rights. Although its a difficult culture to understand. Women in the Middle East feel assured that the rights that they have earned have been given to them by Allah and there is no one that they have to ask in order to have those rights. On the other hand the rights that the women in the west have were gained by force.

  5. i believe in hundred years time, the equality gap between man and women will diminish around the world. The key is education. Its the education that empowers every man and women. nobody can take away the knowledge that we gain. I guess thats exactly what the extremist was trying to stop malala yousafsai from having, so women can live in the shadows of the man in those regions. She is role model, now she will be inspiration to the rest of the women in pakistan and around the world.
