International Women's Day

"We may yet live to see the day when women will be no longer news!  And it cannot come too soon.  I want to be a peaceful, happy, normal human being, pursuing my unimpeded way through life, never having to stop to explain, defend, or apologize for my sex. . ."

~ Nellie McClung, Canadian author and womens' rights activist (1873 - 1951)
