Happy International Women's Day!
A Russian-American friend of mine used to email me and all her female friends on this day every year to tell us about how in Russia, women would be showered with gifts and flowers.
While gifts and flowers are nice and all, I'd be much more appreciative of equal pay for equal work, maternity leave, and affordable quality childcare.
