March 8 is International Women's Day (US has its equivalent on the
26th of August) which celebrates the struggle for women's rights.
Throughout history, many strong women had to rise against the odds and
fight for their dreams and passions, equality and solidarity among men.
Their bravery contributed to shaping today's world, and has to be
