8th March Insurrection Day of Female Workers against Kitchen Slavery
Yesterday was International Women's Day. I want to thank The Thinking Housewife for reminding us of the origins of the celebration.
As The Thinking Housewife notes, the great thing about Soviet Equality was that women were sent to the camps, too.
Thanks for the Soviet poster showing where IWD came from. How quaint -- feminists wearing dresses and headscarves!
ReplyDeleteSoviet factories were preferable to the kitchen?
ReplyDeleteHaving recently read "A Mother's Ordeal: One Woman's Fight Against China's One-Child Policy" the author gives insight into how the Maoist movement promised women freedom from the home and domestic responsibilities in its assertion of the policy. After all, they said, it just makes you run down and enslaved to have all those children...you know, all two of them.
