Why we celebrate "Women's Day," March 8th, around the world.

We celebrate this day because of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire, March 25th, 1911, in Manhattan, New York City.
Stairwells and exits were locked to keep the garment workers from taking breaks. At approximately 4:40 p.m.when the fire erupted, no one could escape from the horrendous upper-story fire. 146 died that day --- most of them young women.
We celebrate their lives with the Mimosa flower. Never let us forget March 8th and let all women be honored for their rolls in life, no matter where they are or what they've done.
