INTERNATIONAL WOMEN´S DAY


Really? Do we need an International Women´s Day? In 2018?. 





Well, as Rosa Parks did years later, these women fought sternly in search for rights we nowadays take unreservedly for granted. Read/watch about the first women to achieve certain positions, to reach unthinkable targets in their time.They could, we can. Let´s thank them for it!  Let´s look up to them!

How would they react to "imaginative" products, as these "pens for women". Would they laugh at it? Yes, I agree, humour helps... Ellen Degeneres knows about it.


Still, what about looking ahead, to the women of the future to come.  How do you see them?
