A Volga
Girl's 4th Annual
International Women's Day Banquet 2004
(to be held Thursday, the 4th of March)
International
Women's Day (March 8) is widely celebrated
throughout Russia and many countries worldwide. It is the
Russian equivalent of Mother's Day in America.
A Volga Girl is pleased to announce our
4th Annual International Women's Day banquet, to be held at the
elaborately themed Ilya Muromoets Restaurant. The ladies
attending this dinner usually spend a good part of the evening
sharing, comparing, and supporting each other's efforts to find
and marry an American or other western-oriented man. Many of the
ladies in attendance will have become recently engaged and are
awaiting the processing of their Fiancé Visa's. Attendance at
this dinner will have the anticipated effect to boost the
confidence and morale of those involved, directly benefiting
those men who are corresponding with them. PLEASE NOTE: For
those men corresponding with ladies in nearby or neighboring
cities like Samara or Ulyanovsk -- bus transportation is easily
accessible, and value-priced local hotel accommodations are also
available within 1 block of our Togliatti office quarters.

The
first Women's Day took place on the last Sunday in February,
1908. Initiated by socialist women in the United States, the
occasion was inspired by a number of issues -- the right to vote,
equal wages, and better working conditions for female employees
among them. A year later, the second International Conference
of Socialist Women approved an International Women's Day, which
was held for the first time in 1911.
On
March 8 (February 23 on the Gregorian calendar), 1917,
thousands of Russian women observed this holiday
by protesting food shortages, high prices, the war,
and the general suffering they had endured under the Czarist
regime.
(The Czar
was forced to abdicate four days later as a result
of that and other strikes.) In 1921, March 8 became the official
date
for
International Women's Day.
No longer an
exclusively socialist holiday, International Women's
Day is now a time to rally support for women's rights around
the world,
commemorate the progress we've made, and honor the
efforts of individual women who have helped bring about greater
equality
for all.
