La donna

On 8th March, 1908 one hundred and twenty - nine American female workers died in their factory in New York during a fire.
When the factory caught fire there was no escape for the women.
They all died.
Their graves were all covered with little bunches of mimosas, a flower which grew in the fields near the factory.
The hope for women and fortunately also for lots of men, is that the 8th March should not be the only day in the year when women deserve some consideration for what they are and they do.
This positive attitude should become the rule.
