With this month of March centred around International Women, and their achievments, I didn’t want to bamboozle you with too much detail, so narrowed my article down to this. I could have listed all that we, as women have achived but there were way too many women and way too many categories. That has to tell you something right there! I hope you enjoy!
A woman’s place in history, dates back to 1848-
In the united States of America, there was a convention held for women to discuss their list of grievances.
This two day ’seminar’ set the programme for the rights of women in a society held by men.
There were twelve points of resolution, all calling for equal rights and treatment, for both women and men, in accordance of laws and voting.The decalaration was signed that day in history, marking the rights for women!
In 1850, they held their first National Women’s Rights Convention.
Many other events took place from that moment on, including the right to vote,a goal met by women of various States across the country-the right to serve as part of a jury,the movement formed for Black women,advocacy for better working conditions and wages,first birth control clinic,the fight against discrimination and so on.These women also formed  groups, organisations who paved the way for other arguments and challenged the governments with legal battles, always on behalf of another woman!

While all this was going on, in another part of the Globe one woman fought her own fight, a fight that would represent the International women’s day-

Who is Klara Zetkin? Well, I can tell you this feisty woman was responsible for organizing International Women’s Day way back in 1911.
Seems she got her own inspiration from what she learned of women in the workforce!
Klara was a German socialist, a woman’s advocate who managed to stir the European nations with her ideas, which lead to the socialist woman’s movement being formed.Women from all over marched in support She found more use for her voice by establishing the socialist’s newspaper, working as an editor for her paper, the Gleichheit.
The vast amount of women supporting her was nothing short of amazing! There were rallies and marches of protest all over Europe with the help and backing of femenist, Aleksandra Kollontai.
Klara spentmany of her later years in Russia and  went on to write several pieces on socialism. Her years studying Karl Marx having a definte impact on her own life and personal views.

I don’t know about my sisters, but studying past profiles of the hundreds upon thousands who made an impact in this world, has left me thinking that perhaps this IS the year we see a female as President?? If past records are anything to go by, ANYTHING is possible in this ‘would be’, predominantly ‘male’ world!

FYI: This link gives you some idea of the various events scheduled in my hometown of Sydney-
