<p>In this episode, we discuss the socialist origins of International Women’s Day, how it has developed over time, and how it has been co-opted for corporate gain today. Exploring examples of pink washing and virtue signalling, we interrogate what ‘International Women’s Day’ really means for us today. Acknowledging the ongoing institutional inequality experienced by women, we reflect upon how we can feel hope for the future in our own lives. We explore how feminist inspiration is found through art, friendships and everyday conversations.&nbsp;</p><br><p><a href="https://substack.com/home/post/p-189983269" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://substack.com/home/post/p-189983269</a> “Why IWD needs a complete rethink”</p><p><a href="https://shapetalent.com/glass-ceilings-and-sticky-floors-why-women-are-overworked-and-undervalued/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://shapetalent.com/glass-ceilings-and-sticky-floors-why-women-are-overworked-and-undervalued/</a> “Glass ceilings and sticky floors - why women are overworked and undervalued”</p><p><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/mar/08/womens-protest-sparked-russian-revolution-international-womens-day" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/mar/08/womens-protest-sparked-russian-revolution-international-womens-day</a> Socialist History of IWD</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
