International Women's Day

 First of all, we most know two questions about it:

- Why does esxist?
Because , on that date in 1848, the Prussian King, faced whit an armed uprising, had promised many reforms, including an unfulfilled one of votes for women.

- What do we celebrate?
The right to vote.

Now, I going to write a list some important dates and/or event.

- 1909: in acoordance with SPA the first national dugmen's day was celebrate on 28 February.
- 1913-1914: women held rallies either to protest the war or to express solidarity with their sister.

Well, that's all but I want to talking about an Ireland woman, Mary Robinson.
 
Mary Robinson:  born 21 May 1944 served as the seventh, and first female, President of Ireland from 1990 to 1997, and the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, from 1997 to 2002. She first rose to prominence as an academic,barrister, campaigner and member of the Irish Senate (1969–1989). She defeated Fianna Fáil's Brian Lenihan and Fine Gael's Austin Currie in the 1990 presidential election becoming, as an Independent candidate nominated by the Labour Party, the Workers' Party and independent senators, the first elected president in the office's history not to have had the support of Fianna Fáil
