Thread Name: BS: Int'l Women's Day Centennial.
Subject: RE: BS: Int'l Women's Day Centennial.
for the last few years I've been invited to an IWD function run by a local council.
One year our speakers were 2 working women.
The older one was the first female in a News Room & spoke about her struggles to be accepted as a reporter in a man's world.
The younger woman's babysitting had fallen thru (tradesman husband was called out to an urgent job) so she spoke with baby on one hip & 5 year-old in school uniform clinging to her other leg! A perfect example of female multi-skilling.
