International Women’s Day is a worldwide event that celebrates women’s achievements – from the political to the social – while calling for gender equality. It has been observed since the early 1900s and is now recognised each year on March 8th. The original aim – to achieve full gender equality for women the world – has still not been realised. A gender pay gap persists across the globe and women are still not present in equal numbers in business or politics. According to the World Economic Forum, the gender gap won't close until 2186. On IWD, women across the world come together to force the world to recognise these inequalities – while also celebrating the achievements of women who have overcome these barriers. SHE'S NOT JUST A PRETTY FACE By, Shania Twain
Lyrics
She hosts a T.V. show, she rides the rodeo She plays the bass in a band She's an astronaut A valet at the parking lot A farmer working the land She is a champion, she gets the gold She's a ballerina, the star of the show
She's, not, just a pretty face She's, got, everything it takes
She has a fashion line A journalist for "Time" Coaches a football team She's a geologist, a romance novelist She is a mother of three She is a soldier, she is a wife She is a surgeon, she'll save you life
She's, not, just a pretty face She's, got, everything it takes She's, mother, of the human race She's, not, just a pretty face
Oh, oh, yeah Oh na, na, na, na She is your waitress, she is your judge She is your teacher She is every woman in the world
Oh, la, la, la She flies an airplane She drives a subway train At night she pumps gasoline She's on the council, she's on the board She's a politician, she praises the Lord
