As every year, this coming March 8th, we will celebrate International Women’s Rights Day all over the world (well, almost). To celebrate this event in my own way, I am offering you my small selection of tips that I have found, for us women, to help us have a truly wonderful, educational, and fruitful day this Tuesday, March 8, 2022.
