March 8 marks International Women’s Day. More than just celebrating women for their well-known “superpowers,” such as their incredible multitasking ability, this day honors a past of struggle and achievements in the search for equality and freedom. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n

History tells us that the demands of female workers at a textile factory in New York in 1857 gave rise to the celebration of Women’s Day worldwide. Over the years, women continued to make their voices heard, coming together in various demonstrations. In 1908, more than 14,000 women joined a march through the streets of New York. They walked with the slogan “Bread and Roses,” where bread symbolized economic stability and the delicate roses represented a better quality of life. <\/p>\n\n

That year, the American Socialist Party decreed the last Sunday of February as International Women’s Day. However, it was during the world conference of socialist organizations held in Copenhagen that German revolutionary Clara Zetkin proposed March 8 as International Women’s Day. A date that reinforces international solidarity among female workers in the struggle for common goals and a demonstration of their organized strength. The effort is so that one day prejudice and the devaluation of women will end. <\/p>\n\n

We would like to take this opportunity to honour all women, especially those who are part of the Horto do Campo Grande team – represented here by our florist Ana, by Lena, who has been with us for over 30 years, and by In\u00eas, who has just arrived – and offer some suggestions for celebrating this very special day.<\/p>\n\n
