This March 8 is an International Women’s Day like no other.
Let’s first take a moment to recognize the millions globally who have suffered illness and those who have died from Covid-19.
The day we now celebrate with flowers and tributes to the advances women have made began in 1909 as a radical call by women in the Socialist Party of America for workers’ rights and women’s rights — both very radical notions at the time. This included safe workplaces and efforts to prevent sexual assault and violence in war zones and elsewhere. Sound familiar? Not really so very radical is it?
Read MoreJustice, dignity and hope are what the colors purple, green and white aim to signify as the theme colors of International Women’s Day, March 8 in its 110th year of gatherings around the globe. With the theme of #ChooseToChallenge, what faces women in a post-COVID culture and economy is aptly challenging.

If you’re the CEO, it’s assumed you’re living a life where you’re well off and you don’t have a care in the world. If you have a low-income job it’s assumed you didn’t go to college. If you’re a college athlete, it’s assumed you’re arrogant. If you’re a supporter of equal rights, it’s assumed you’re homosexual. If you’re a woman, it’s assumed you’re not and never will be equal to men. And if you’re a feminist, you automatically hate men.
Read MoreIt was an offer I couldn’t refuse–an invitation from the nonprofit organization 2020 Women on Boards to a reception at the New York Stock Exchange on the eve of International Women’s Day (IWD).
