Happy Int'l Women's Day. My Mama was amazing - brilliant, hard working, honest and strong. This is her at her job as Head Operator at BC Tel many years ago. I love this picture.

Women's Day: Protesters clash with police in Mexico
Police and activists have clashed in Mexico City at a march to mark International Women's Day.
Officers forced back protesters with tear gas and riot shields in the capital's main square, the Zocalo.
Protesters were calling for the government to address the country's poor record on the murder of women, often referred to as femicide, and gender-based violence.
Government figures suggest at least 939 women were victims of femicide in 2020.
Thousands of women, some with their daughters, attended the march in the Mexican capital on Monday.
One girl was seen carrying a sign reading "They haven't killed me, but I live in fear".
