Songs about Women’s Day.

Bread and roses.

The slogan of the strike by female textile workers in Lawrence, Kansas, USA was "We also want bread and roses." This shows that they not only want food and clothing, but also want to live a decent life. Influenced by it, the poet James Oppenheim wrote the song "Bread and Roses":

As we move forward, forward in better times,

In thousands of dim kitchens and gray factory buildings,

We feel the sudden warmth of sunlight shining in,

In order to let the people hear our singing,< /p>

Bread plus roses, bread plus roses,

When we move forward, move forward, we bring better sunshine,

Women’s awakening means that a nation’s Rise up,

While others are resting,

There will no longer be hard labor and temporary workers working hard,

We want to share the glory of life,

Bread with roses, bread with roses.

In different regions, the focus of celebrations varies, from ordinary celebrations of respect, appreciation and love for women to celebrations of women's achievements in the economic, political and social fields. Since the festival began as a political event initiated by socialist feminists, the festival has been integrated into the culture of many countries.
