International Women's Day

    Every March 8, millions of people around the world celebrate International Women’s Day (#InternationalWomen'sDay) and this is the perfect occasion to send a #MiamiFlowerDelivery to all the special women in your life. International Women's Day celebrates the social, political and economic achievements of women. It's also a day to celebrate womanhood and motherhood. International Women's Day is not nearly as well known in the United States as it is in other parts of the globe; elsewhere, it's marked by rallies, banners and even a day off. International Women's Day is actually considered a very important event in most other countries around the globe, including the UK, Canada, Russia, Uganda, China, and many eastern and African nations. It's common in many parts of the world for men to give women flowers and candies, a la Valentine's Day or Mother's Day in the United States. In fact, in many of these places, International Women's Day is more popular than Valentine’s Day, Birthdays, or even Mother’s Day.

“Life is an unfoldment, and the further we travel the more truth we can comprehend. To understand the things that are at our door is the best preparation for understanding those that lie beyond.”
                                                    -Hypatia

 Hypatia of Alexandria, is consider by many one of the first female scientist in history, at times when women had no place in learning and teaching let along discovering. Hypatia lived an extraordinary life as the pre-eminent mathematician, philosopher, astronomer and astrologer of her time. She was able to rise above the misogyny (the hatred of women) of the time and became one of the most educated and influential people in the known world, a strong supporter of free enquiry. Her brutal murder by a violent and extremist mob is believed by many to symbolize the end of an era of intellectual freedom. She was the daughter of a Famous Mathematician and teacher of the Neoplatonic School of Alexandria, Theon Alexandricus. It is said that she contributed greatly to her father's legacy. She compiled tables of the position of celestial bodies, was a profound orator and defender of the need for questioning every living thing; people traveled to hear her speak, often declaring her to be like her patron Minerva, the goddess of wisdom. She is considered by many to be the first woman to make considerable contributions to the science of mathematics, physics and to the perfection of the astrolabe, an astronomy instrument still use in today's star findings.
