the story behind the story in women's day

There was a lady who fought for women's right, and that's why we have our day.

I cannot think of a happy day (celebrated with flowers, chocolate, greetings or cards) when she had to abandon her country because of her potical view. She was a teacher, and as a teacher, she tried to "lecture" about world's peace in a world that was in war.

It seemed she didn't fear Adolf Hitler's growing power when she became a "congress lady" opposing to that regime, but later on she had to leave Germany. Once in Russia, she was in charge of the International Women's Board, a position she held until she died.

Clara, this is my praise to you, and hope I deserve what you've done for me.
