International Women's Day With A Motto
>> Tuesday, 9 March 2010
An official poster to celebrate International Women's Day - 8th of March (I'm a bit late).
And a poem written by a Catalan author — I already talked about her in this post —:
Motto
I am grateful to fate for three gifts: to have been born a woman,
from the working class and an oppressed nation.
And the turbid azure of being three times a rebel.
Maria-Mercè MARÇAL

Love the poster and the poem, fullet.
I love this poem. Beautifully said. And for all of us who are just women--I am grateful for that, too!

Pat, thank you, I'm glad you liked both things.
Hi, Michele, I also enjoy these sort of self-affirmation poems. Thank you!
Hello, James, it was my pleasure. I wish I could post more of my own writings, but I definitely am not as prolific as you. Thanks for your time!
Dex, thank you for your visit, I enjoy Marçal poems and it's great to post them here from time to time.
Hi, Sheila! I had some trouble to find it. Finally I saw it at the Unesco site and it actually is the official poster in China. Thanks for your comment.
Better late than never, my dear fullet...and, besides, EVERY day should be International Women's Day, in my opinion!!!
