WOMEN'S DAY

This festivity is celebrated on the 8th of March to remember when in 1908 the Triangle Shirtwaist Company in USA burnt, killing lots of women that worked there. The last survivor that could tell us the story was Rose Freedman, saying women were used as slaves and, so, they died 'cause they couldn't escape from the burning room, while she found an emergency exit and escape across it. Now the symbol of the day is the mimosa 'cause there was a plant of that flower nearby the destroyed industry.
