8th of March is well-known as an international Women’s Day. Although in
Poland we mainly associate this holiday with times of communism and PRL, it
actually came from United States and was originally established in honour of women
who died in fighting for gender equality. It all begun on march 8th in
1908, when 15 000 women who worked for a fashion industry in New York initiated
a strike with postulates of equal solarise. In 1909 The Socialist Party of
America designated 28th of February to honour them. Later, in 1910- during the meeting in Copenhagen-
The Socialist International established that the Women’s Day should have an
international character and should be considered the day when women are appreciated
for their achievements. Nowadays Women’s Day is rather a commercial holiday, we
celebrate it through flowers and chocolates, some shops prepare special discounts
for this day, etc. Most of the feminists doesn’t recognise this holiday and
thinks that we forgot that it should be an opportunity to discuss the discrimination,
problems of equality and the future for women. In my opinion every day should
be the Women’s Day. We shouldn’t limit ourselves to only one day during the
year to honour and show our appreciation to all the great women we know.

The history of gingerbreads date back to ancient times, when their first version appeared in Romanian Imperium. In Middle Aggies they became more popular thanks to monasteries and monks who were importing spices from the east in times of crusades. The tradition of baking gingerbreads became more and more popular during the years, especially around Christmas time. We not only bake them but the most important part of process is decorating.
