It’s International Women’s Day!
The first observance was held in New York on March 8, 1909. It was organized by the Socialist Party of America in honor of the working woman. I’ll drink to that!

Amen to that! And I did have a cocktail last night (kind of unusual for a weekday) but I didn’t toast to working women. May have to rectify that tonight!
What was your cocktail and what was the occasion? (Not that I need an occasion, other than it being evening.)
