International Women’s Day means different things to different people, but the global focus on equality and celebration is clear. It was started by the Suffragettes in the early 1900’s and continues to be a powerful platform globally that unifies tenacity and drives action for gender parity, while celebrating the social, cultural, economic and political achievements of women.

"The men of the household are adored, feared, and revered, but it is the women who hold things together; their worries, quarrels, prayers, recipes, gardens and fierce love for the children lend House of Houses its rich texture."—The New York Times Book Review
