Open thread - Tuesday



Today marks the 100th anniversary of the International Women's Day. We came a long way and had to jump some hurdles, but we still have to overcome a few more.


Google is celebrating women today
.

Google marked International Women's Day Tuesday by dedicating its logo to the 100th anniversary of the celebration of women's achievements and by giving Google Maps' icon Pegman a female sidekick -- Pegwoman.



It's very nice to have our achievements celebrated in this way, but the conditions for women vary enormously around the globe. Many have achieved a lot, others still face a long struggle ahead of them.

Let's hope 2011 will bring meaningful changes to all women, everywhere.
