In the recent history of Russia holidays markedly increased. Especially those which are just nice to human. For example, the non-national political and not Valentine's Day . In Soviet times, was also a holiday, which, despite the ideological character, loved by just such a reason - International Women's Day on March 8 . Probably why he was still relevant today. And despite the fact that the now celebrated in Russia and Mother's Day, and the Day of marital love and fidelity to the memory of Saints Peter and Fevronia. Celebrate Day March 8 - it's a tradition. It will not go away even if someone comes into your mind that day to cancel. Feast fit already in people's genetic memory. You bet!
A century of Russian children have been taught to greet Mom was on March 8, just for the fact that they are mothers, and girls - for the fact that they are girls. It was an educational point in terms of gender relations. True, and the ideology of the last century even enough due to this holiday. However, about this long ago and have forgotten. Times and priorities, but the main thing is. interesting how the holiday has changed in a century? Where did the tradition went to congratulate women is March 8? It all started, oddly enough, with the fact that women want to be ... men. Not literally, of course not. I just wanted the same rights as men. Not to sit tied at home with children, and to choose a job by calling, to participate in government in general to be socially active. Now, strange to imagine, but only two centuries ago, women had no civil rights and were under the care of a man - his father, then husband or brother, another relative. Women were not allowed to receive higher education, and public office, as well as management positions in private companies. That is why this tragedy grew cases when a woman for some reason was without a male relative. This meant poverty, misery, full social vulnerability, in fact death. That's where the fear has gone passionate each girl to remain unmarried, which persists to this day. not to say that women put up with this situation. Back in the late XVIII century there were movement called feminism (from Lat. Femina, «Woman"). First requirement of equality were made by women during the War of Independence in the United States. The first American feminist believe Abigail Smith Adams. She made history by his famous phrase, "We will not obey the law, in making that we did not participate, and the government that does not represent our interests." Here then spoke in a loud voice about how to give women civil rights as men. For example, the right to vote. There was a social movement, participants who called themselves suffragettes (from the English. Suffrage - the right to vote.) It took a hundred years of active performances and works of social thought, the situation began to change. The women's movement for their rights was inseparable from other human social trends, such as liberalism and the struggle for human rights. Feminism has become part of the revolution in the world. During the French Revolution of 1789, for example, women have played an important role. Made history name Olympe de Gouges, author of the Declaration of the Rights of Woman and Citizen. They say that when she was sent to the guillotine, she said: "If a woman is worthy to ascend the scaffold, it is worthy to enter and to Parliament." At the beginning of XX century, after a series of revolutionary upheavals in many different countries, the situation began to change. In some places, women have the right to vote. That's when there was the idea of an international women's solidarity, and it was decided to introduce a single day women's speeches all over the world for their rights. Historians attribute this idea a German Clara Zetkin. She expressed her at the Second International Socialist Women's Conference, held in Copenhagen August 27, 1910 at the Eighth Congress of the Second International. First International Women's Day is observed March 19, 1911 in Germany, Austria, Denmark and Switzerland. This date will propose another German Helen Greenberg in memory of the revolution in Prussia, which took place in March 1848. Then every year the date changes. In Russia, for example, women protested March 2, 1913. On this day, it organized in Corn Exchange building in St. Petersburg. It came a half thousand people. The final date of 8 March, adopted in 1914. A few years later, after the revolution in 1917, this day in Russia has become a national holiday. For a long time, the international women's day on March 8 was considered a political holiday. However, in the Soviet Union, he gradually lost his protest color. It was believed that in a socialist state in women, and so common rights with men. However, the ideological nature of the holiday was kept. March 8 honored women working women who have achieved major advances in economics and science, social work and other areas of life then. But this was the official side of the holiday. The people is a tradition at least once a year to remember that she is not only a public figure and a full production unit, it is also a mother, wife, love. In short, the Russian women won the right to work alongside men, and on March 8, used to remind us that they are still women. Famous Soviet satirist Arkady Raikin monologue about parenting general sentiment expressed thus: "it would work a little less, and he would pay a little more ..." Today, the priorities have shifted again. And although the question is not as acute as in centuries past, activists of social movements continue to keep repeating that Russia violated the rights of women. They would like to see a woman at the head of the Russian state, more women in senior positions in government departments and large corporations.
And in society, concerned with demography, gaining strength domostroevskie mood. Themselves as women would like to own their own destiny - to work, if you want, or do not work, and only deal with the household and children. Central to these days was the need is the capacity, the ability to live as everyone seems to be correct. Hence the talk of the formation of the middle class and quality of life. Well, then. The quality of life. Remember the advertising slogan the second decade of this century: "You're a woman, and not dishwasher"? These days, women expect their second halves of this attitude is referred to in the advertisement. Age of modern technology is much easier for people to life. And it was the homework has long been the talk of the town. Cooking, washing, cleaning, ironing at all times taking over women's physical and mental strength, which they could spend on children and loved ones. And for myself. It's no secret, a woman can be beautiful and desirable life, but for this it needs a little time and a little bit of practical magic that offers today the beauty industry. However, not every family has the opportunity to buy expensive equipment or to provide funding for set nano. And this happiness? At all times, lived well those couples whose relations are based on love and harmony. By and large, women's struggle for their rights at all times meant only one thing: they want to be loved and be counted. That's the whole formula for happiness. March 8 remains an international holiday, celebrate it because the post-Soviet space, and even in a number of countries. And the flowers, which is accepted to give to women on this day, it is a declaration of love, one way to tell the fair sex: "Thank you for being there!
