International Women’s Day is a day of global celebration for the economic, political and social achievements of women past, present and future.  Next year, 2011, will mark the 100th anniversary of this celebration.   In some countries like China, Russia, Vietnam and Bulgaria, it is a national holiday.

With so many AgeEsteemers in multiple countries around the world, it seems appropriate to feature international holidays.  Holiday does not necessarily mean time off from work and businesses closed.  It simply means a day that has been deemed as a special day internationally.

With gratitude to the Earth Calendar which has compiled information on special days around the world.
