Attention Boston Flavoristas – It’s Time to Celebrate

March 8th, 2011

Today is International Women’s Day, a holiday created during the rapid industrialization of the early 20th century and observed in countries around the globe for a century.

On March 8th, 1908, 15,000 women protested in New York, marching for voting rights, shorter hours and better pay. In 1910, delegates to the second annual International Conference of Working Women in Copenhagen unanimously approved an International Women’s Day, an occasion to lobby worldwide for women’s rights.

The holiday was officially declared as March 8th, in 1913, and has been reinvented many times since its inception, receiving official sanction from the UN in 1975.

So head over to The Franklin Cafe in the South End tonight from From 9pm-2am and celebrate by raising a glass with the ladies of LUPEC.

This is Nicole Lebedevitch (a.k.a. Amber Dream) of Eastern Standard mixing drinks at a previous punch party.
