    This day was very much observed when I was a child living in the old East Bloc. Today it is only mentioned here briefly on the news, no one really observes it.;) So happy International Women's Day to you too.;)
    Have a lovely weekend,

    Marie Curie, in fact, called the Maria Skłodowska-Curie. She was Polish. Curie was the name of her husband, who was a Frenchman. I am glad that Polka is on your list.
