I watched this documentary last night and it was fascinating. Learn about the historic sexism in the airline industry, the link between women’s rights and the Civil Rights movement, and how when we work together we can make change.

Sometimes it’s easier to ignore things that are difficult to see. Fortunately, there are journalists who bring light to the things that must be addressed. One such reporter was Nellie Ble, a 19th- century journalist who went undercover to expose the asylum system in which women (with or without mental illness) were often abused or neglected. More than a century later, Bly’s work was honored with a monument near the site of the asylum she investigated. @AtlasObscura has more:

March 8 is International Women's Day — a date picked in honor of the Russian women who demanded "bread and peace" during World War I. The Czar abdicated and women gained the right to vote. True to the spirit of those Russian women, the world pauses on this day to celebrate the achievements of women. Here’s more from @npr:
Clara Zetkin and Rosa Luxemburg 1910, before Zetkin proposed to the Second International, that March 8 be celebrated as International Women’s Day to commemorate the 1908 garment workers strike in New York City.
