HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY- Don’t forget to pick up your flower
International Women’s day is a global celebration of the economic, political and social achievements of women, took place for the first time on March 8, 1911. Many countries around the world celebrate the holiday with demonstrations, educational initiatives and customs such as presenting women with flowers.
“Internationally, purple is a color for symbolizing women. Historically the combination of purple, green and white to symbolize women’s equality originated from the Women’s Social and Political Union in the UK in 1908. Purple signifies justice and dignity. Green symbolizes hope. White represents purity, but is no longer used due to ‘purity’ being a controversial concept.”
Additionally, the introduction of the color yellow representing a ‘new dawn’ is commonly used to signify a second wave of feminism. Thus purple with green represents traditional feminism, purple with yellow represents progressive contemporary feminism.
Your flowers will be available by the student/staff entrance today, March 8, 2021 at 1pm and tomorrow, March 9, 2021 at 10 am.
Please take a selfie with your flower and tag @detroitmercydental IG
