THE ORIGIN OF 8 MARCH<\/h2>\n

Yesterday was March 8<\/strong>, what we hastily call “Women’s Day”<\/strong>, but it would be correct to call it “International Women’s Day”<\/strong>, an occasion that was not born by chance.<\/p>\n

It has little to do with improvised strippers, disco nights of dubious taste, and everything that distracts from the real function of a day that we should celebrate with concrete actions and less sterile “wishes”.<\/p>\n

Nothing to do even with the false historian of the fire of Cottons & Cottons<\/strong>, a shirt factory in the United States<\/strong>, in fact that was a well-designed ploy to instill a sacredness to the occasion to justify its existence.<\/p>\n

We took a step back, and it was June 14\u00a01921<\/strong>, when the Second Conference of Communist Women<\/strong> was held in Moscow<\/strong>, and after so many attempts in fits and starts, “International Workers’ Day”<\/strong> was officially established. The day goes back to February 8 ’17<\/strong> when the Russian population came down to protest against the Tsar.<\/p>\n

WHY MIMOSA?<\/h3>\n

For mimosa we have to wait until ’46, in Italy, women had just reached the goal of Universal Suffrage. Teresa Mattei<\/strong>, a former partisan proposed to combine a flower with the anniversary, which was easy to find in March when Spring appears timidly, the choice fell on mimosa, already a symbol of partisans and relay teams. Then even late: give them away!<\/p>\n

“WORDS ARE IMPORTANT”<\/h3>\n

\u201cWords are important, those who speak badly, think badly and live badly\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Said Nanni Moretti in Palombella Rossa. One would say that they are more important than ever when there are over 111 million people listening to them. A few days before International Women’s Day,\u00a0Barba Palombelli<\/strong> journalist and face of Mediaset, at the co-conduct of the penultimate evening, rattles off a monologue dedicated to women, or rather to “real women”<\/em>, quoting verbatim.<\/p>\n

A dedication that turns into a list without transport of life experiences.<\/p>\n

The study “to tears”<\/em>, crosses the work carried out “until independence”<\/em>, because “in the end it works “<\/em>. A speech that clashes with the one given by Elodie<\/strong><\/a> the previous evening and that made just reference to that slice of society, therefore also of women, cut off from studying and from work that allows at a certain point to be able to debut a “in the end it works\u201d\u00a0<\/em>to the famous 11 million viewers mentioned above.<\/p>\n

A few superficial references to the untimely death of Luigi Tenco<\/strong> which took place during the 1967 edition, to Liliana Segre<\/strong>, and a concluding warning that encourages the “girls” to run towards the future, to put a country that is collapsing to pieces on its feet , or perhaps it cracked a long time ago, by the hand of the same generation as Barbara Palombelli<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
