By Mike Deines CD’03 International Women’s Day had its roots in the labor movements at the turn of the Twentieth Century in North America and across Europe. The United Nations began celebrating IWD on March 8 during International Women’s Year in 1975, and two years later the U.N. General Assembly proclaimed a United Nations Day for Women’s Rights and International Peace to be observed by Member States in accordance with their historical and national traditions. In essence, IWD is a time to reflect on progress made, to call for social change, and to celebrate acts of courage and determination by ordinary women who have played an extraordinary role in the history of their countries and communities. The Cliff Dwellers at the urging of then President Leslie Eve Moran introduced Recht CD’03 became part of IWD celebrations in 2011. The Club IWD keynote speaker Andrea Kramer. has focused on bringing together a host of interesting women to inspire and guide the next generation of young women in Chicago. To that end, again this year a group of 30 scholars from nearby high schools (Chicago Tech Academy, Jones High School, and Muchin High School) shared lunch and inspiring stories with nearly 70 women and Club members. Eve Moran CD’10 once again organized and hosted the March 8 program. The keynote address was given by Andrea Kramer, a partner in an international law firm where she was a founding member of the firm’s Diversity Committee.
