International Women´s Day
March 8th is International Women´s Day. In class we discussed women in history and their contributions to society. Who do you think should be honored and why?
For example, Marie Curie was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, and she is the only woman to winthe award in two fiferents fields. I think thatthis was a important progress :)
I think Anne Frank should be honored because she was so young when all those terrible things happened to her and all the Jewish people. She was a strong girl and so brave for a girl that was so young, like her. She was our age, more or less, when she died in a concentration camp but now we are in a house using our computers... So I think she should be honored for that reason: for being so strong even when you know that you can die in this moment, knowing that maybe some soldiers of Hitler can open the door anyway and kill you or send you to a concentration camp like they did to her. I think she let us know very important things that everybody should know, she let us know that you have to be brave because any moment you can die any or other way, that's the point. Have you read the Anne Frank's Diary?
HAPPY WOMEN´S DAY GIRLS! All women can do as much as men. I am going to talk about TERESA MOTHER :) I think that this women was the hope for the people of her time and ours. Mother Teresa should have a special day, for all things that she did. She received the Nobel Prize in 1979. She talked about divorce and abortion, two important subjects. She maybe was a Leader, but I know that she was a great woman.
CONGRATULATIONS GIRLS!!! :D Monday was our day :) We deserve one day to honor the woman, because we do some very important things, and the rest of the people don´t belive us when we say that. Men sometimes dont care about us, I`M NOT SAYING ALL OF THE MEN,but we care about all of the people. I read about Julia Child, she was a very famous and she do some benefic actions, and is an exaple for many women
I think in this world are a lot of sexist men... and this is very unfair! Because we are same than the mens! same or BEST! hahaha Monday was our day! I like that there are a day to honor the woman :) In the history many unfairs happen us...but is time to change it!! In my class of english I did some research about a importan woman, named katherine Hepbum. She was a American stage and film actress. She was very important for the history of the woman beacuse she was a indomitable woman! :)
Aretha-Franklin born March 25, 1942, Memphis, Tenn., U.S. Aretha Franklin, 1993 American singer who defined the golden age of soul music of the 1960s. Franklin's mother, Barbara, was a gospel singer and pianist. She influied in the women history with the music and the compistion that si compues for the piano. I think that a woman that can influied for the society can be the Mother Teresa of Calcuta because she help people and poor people
Last day in class we learnt about famous women . I looked for sally ride. She was the first women to be an astronaut and travel to space. She was born in Encino (california)the special thing for her was that her job was only for men and she is a influence for all the women to perseveration and motivation. I think Teresa of Calcuta was a great women and she would has a federal day for her.
I read some informacion about an American athlete called Jacqueline Joyner-Kersee.She won many records,example:the long jump, in which she tied the world record.I saw the video of the old olympics games and I was very excited. I choose Maria Teresa de Calcuta because she helped all people.
Frida Kahlo. She was a mexican pinter. Frida-Kahlo born July 6, 1907. Cocoyan Mexico. She died July 13, 1954, Cocoyan. She was married muralist Diego Rivera (1929, separated 1939, remarried 1941). The education in Mexico. She was leader of mexican people in Centre America. She is often identified as a Surrealist. In 1925 Hahlo was involved in a bus accident. In 1943 she was appointed a professor of painting.
I think International Women's Day is very important. It is a major day of global celebration of women. In different regions the focus of the celebrations ranges from general celebration of respect. I believeSalomé Ureña de Henríquez (1850-1897) better known as Salomé Ureña, was a revered poet and pedagogist of the Dominican Republic. Born in Santo Domingo in 1850, she was one of the central figures of lyrical poetry of the 19th century and an innovator of the feminine education in her country.
She began publishing her first works at the age of seventeen and soon became known for her spontaneity and tenderness. Like I said before in different region and different celebration, that is because Salome Ureña de Henriquez is very important in my country.
