Happy International Women’s Day!
It’s not that I have spent particularly long time reflecting on what it means to be a woman, but for me this day usually takes me back to ‘good o’l times’ in Poland. You know, ‘those times’ where everyone was equal (some even more equal than others), people were happy, fed and watered and well looked after by the state. Anyway, that time International Women’s Day was actually something big. Women would get flowers, usually white and red carnations, slippers and tights. Some offices or factories would put special performances to celebrate women and serenade them with patriotic songs. Some would get medals for their work and contribution to their ‘fatherland’. And nothing to do with propaganda….of course…. One or both (!) TV channels available at that time would play songs, especially for women. For some reason I still have Stevie Wonder’s song stuck in my head. And then, post 1989, something changed, and this day was no longer celebrated- at least not like all those years before. After 1989, International Women’s Day was strongly considered a communist celebration and (some) people seemed to have a huge resentment towards it. It’s almost like importance of women, however that was interpreted in ‘good o’l times’, collapsed together with the political system of my country. Funny that…
I’m not missing those times, where women didn’t have as many opportunities as they have now and it’s good to see that a lot has been done for women to ensure their equal rights. It’s not the end of the road though and for some this road is longer than for others .
