8th of March – International Women’s Day – provoked a debate in the (social) media about the meaning and importance of this day. Many would argue that it’s an archaic thing, that there should be then also Men’s day and that trending feminism is a sign of ‘mission completed’ status with respect to women’s rights. However, though in my mind it still very much reminds me of Soviet times when this day was widely celebrated and practically every woman received at least one tulip or carnation on that day both at home and work as a ‘thank you’ for being a woman, I think it is still good to have this day. To celebrate womanhood and femininity both in its strong and fragile/ vulnerable form. To celebrate humanity, because it would not exist without a woman. To remind the women and men that it all starts with a woman. 
If i had to nominate a woman of 2014 I would vote for Lupita. She is such an inspiration for any woman living in any country including myself. She is a woman who dares to be herself, to dream the impossible and to be who she wants to be.
