Have a look at this awesome picture:
"We Can Do It!" is a wartime propangada poster produced by J. Howard Miller in 1942 as an inspirational image to boost worker morale. The model for the poster is generally thought to be a black-and-white wire service photograph taken of a Michigan factory worker named Geraldine Hoff Doyle.
It is exactly this picture that is used in a great classroom activity you can find here. If you click on the icon, you will listen a four-minute rap with the text / lyrics included below. Part of it is in blue which means you can also click on those lines for extra information or, if you wish, you can use them to ask students questions on the topic.
In previous years and therefore former blogposts, I've already left info and links on this date, on what it means / implies to be a woman in the western world or what it might mean to be a woman, for instance, in countries such as Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia... strange as it might see to us there is still a divide - and how deep! - between our reality and many other women's as depicted in A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini. Please read the text I wrote here.
And by the way, thank your mothers to have been born a (free) woman. Feel happy and grateful :))))
