History of Women's Day


The International Women's Day (8 March) is an occasion marked by women's groups worldwide. That date is also commemorated at the United Nations and is a national holiday in many countries. When women on all continents, often divided by national boundaries and by ethnic, linguistic, cultural, economic and political, come together to celebrate their day, they can look a tradition of not less than ninety years of struggle for equality , justice, peace and development.

The International Women's Day concerns of ordinary women as makers of history and is rooted in centuries-old struggle of women to participate in society on an equal footing with men. In ancient Greece, Lysistrata initiated a sexual strike against men to end the war in the French Revolution, Parisian women calling for "liberty, equality, fraternity" marched on Versailles to demand women's suffrage.

The idea of an international day of women emerged at the end of the nineteenth century was, in the industrialized world, a period of expansion and turbulence, booming population growth and radical ideologies.

Chronology

1909: According to a statement from the Socialist Party of the United States of America on February 28 was held in the United States the first National Women's Day, they continued to celebrate the last Sunday of February until 1913.

1910: The Socialist International, meeting in Copenhagen, proclaimed the International Women's Day, international in character to honor the movement for women's rights and to help achieve universal suffrage. The proposal was approved unanimously by the conference of over 100 women from 17 countries, including the first three women elected to the Finnish parliament. No fixed date for the celebration.

1911: Following the decision taken at Copenhagen the previous year, International Women's Day was celebrated for the first time (19 March) in Austria, Denmark and Switzerland, with meetings attended by more than 1 million women and men. Besides the right to vote and hold public office, they demanded the right to employment, vocational training and non-discrimination in employment.

Less than a week later, on March 25 More than 140 young workers, mostly Italian and Jewish immigrants, were killed in the tragic Triangle Factory fire in New York City. This event had a significant impact on the labor laws of the United States, and subsequent celebrations of International Women's Day is referred to the working conditions leading to disaster.

1913 to 1914: In the context of movements for peace that emerged on the eve of World War I, Russian women observed their first International Women's Day last Sunday in February 1913. In the rest of Europe, women held rallies around 8 March of next year to protest the war or to express solidarity with other women.

1917: In response to the 2 million Russian soldiers dead in the war, Russian women again chose the last Sunday in February to strike in demand for "bread and peace". Political leaders opposed the timing of the strike, but the women went on anyway. The rest is history: Four days later the Czar was forced to abdicate and the provisional Government granted women the right to vote. That historic Sunday fell on 23 February on the Julian calendar then in use in Russia, but on 8 March on the Gregorian calendar in use elsewhere.

Since those early years, International Women's Day has assumed a new global dimension for women in developed and developing countries. The growing international women's movement, backed by the United Nations through four world conferences on women, has helped make the commemoration a rallying point for coordinated efforts for the rights of women and their participation in the life political and economic. The International Women's Day is becoming more an occasion to reflect on progress, demand change and to celebrate acts of courage and determination by ordinary women who have played an extraordinary role in the history of women's rights.

Bouquets of carnations

The carnationsis one of the most popular flowers in Spain with the rose. In fact, one of the pioneering countries in Europe in production and exports and is now the most important region Andalusia in regard to this flower.

Carnations
The greatest carnation market the world is the United States, Colombia and its main supplier and thus perhaps also the world's leading producer standard type carnation. In fact Colombia is also a major supplier in Europe, competing strongly with the Spanish market. In this case, carnations are transported by air, while trade in Europe is done primarily through trucks.

When we speak of 'The Carnation'As such, we refer primarily to Dianthus caryophyllusBelonging to the family Cariophyllaceas. This is mainly grown for cut flowers but also has a small market as ornamental potted plant. The pink (Dianthus caryophyllus) Originates in the Mediterranean at its most wild, although now and as a result of multiple hybridization and selection processes, is unlike almost anything and the varietal range is impressive.

Its value lies primarily in ornamental flowers with serrated petals, more or less irregularly. Currently grown carnations uniflora type, multiflora or bouquet. Carnations are often associated, emotionally, to the joy and charm ... and generally everything having to do with the joy and love. In the language of flowers are closely related with all the love feelings involved, but each color has a specific meaning. Thus, while the red expresses admiration for the beloved, the target makes greater reference to pure love.

The carnation bouquets may be all of Carnations or combined with other species of flower bouquets to set great ornamental value. This applies to the Standard carnations, Also called large-flowered.

In contrast, Miniature carnations, Also called multiflora or spray, are used primarily for bouquets along with the occasional flower as the StatizeThe Gerbera... And green as the ornamental cutting Leather FernThe Gypsophila paniculataEtc.. Together classes are set up much cheaper.

Entering the varieties of Carnations and within the 'standard type', we find an impressive collection that is growing over time. It is noteworthy that besides the pure colors, is the group of so-called 'Fantasia' and are having a lot of acceptance, including varieties of striped or variegated flower.

To set good carnation bouquets We should be demanding and are always Carnations quality. To do this, we must pay attention to things like the diameter of the flower, good training for their flowers, the absence of defects and pests, it appears the 'freshness' and does not wither, that the opening is partially open their flowers for a longer duration and the length and rigidity of the stem are adequate.

On the rigidity of the stem can be determined by taking the stem horizontally about 3 inches from the base of the stem according to the quality it deserves. If the deviation of the head of the flower is over 30 degrees from the horizontal curvature natural down ... the flower is defective.

The Proteas

The Proteas are very old plants, to the extent that they are within the southern hemisphere in three continents (Africa, Australia and South America.), implying that were already present before their separation, living with the dinosaurs

Protea Flower

About the name of this family there are variations to consider. First, the word is documented Protea comes from Greek mythology. The God Proteus, son of Poseidon, god of the seas and has the power to change shape and appearance, as the Proteas have a great diversity in form and color. Also in South Africa are called 'Suikerbossie', variant 'Sugarbush' which means 'wood sugar'. And that was first described by Carl Linnaeus in 1753 under the name of Leucodendron repens their creeping certain bearing. Later, it was Carl Thunberg who changed his name to the new 'Protea mellifera', Known for his engagement in the production of honey.

Virtually all the Proteas need a rather poor soil, sandy, well ventilated, drained and slightly acidic pH. Their exposure should be sunny and temperatures without frost.

Under these conditions often have problems, whereas very wet, wet lands, is almost certain to die from asphyxiation root or the occurrence of the dreaded PhytophthoraThe enemy fungus most important source of the Proteas.

Currently grown variety Proteas in different countries for use in trade fresh flowers ornamentals. Among the most prominent countries are South Africa, followed by Australia, United States (California and Hawaii Islands), Israel, Zimbabwe, Portugal (South, Madeira and the Azores), Spain (Canary Islands, and the area of Huelva), Costa Rica , Chile, New Zealand, China and Japan.



As a curiosity associated with the ProteasWe can say that the Protea repens was for 200 years, the national flower of South Africa, in 1976 was replaced by Protea cyneriodes with the reason that this particular type produces the largest flower in the Proteas.

■ Reflex in round shape with radial flowers bending outwards and downwards.

■ The so-called type Spider, pen, spoon... In which radial flowers are tubular and incurved.

■Pompones into globular and consisting of short and uniform radial flowers, which shows no concentric flowers.

■ And DecorativeVery similar to those pompoms, because flowers are composed primarily of radio, although the outer rows are longer than the plants, giving the inflorescence a flat shape and irregular.

During recent decades, varietal improvement for obtaining commercial hybrids (new varieties), aimed both in form and in the color of its flowers, And in its adaptation to the production of flowers throughout the year.

Chrysanthemums and gladiolas are already prohibited from being brought across the border as they often carry fungi called “Chrysanthemum White Rust” and “Gladiolus Rust,” both of which can be quite harmful.

Other plants like cut greenery and orange jasmine, will also be thoroughly inspected as they hold a dangerous citrus pest.
