How to rest on March 8 in 2016: step back in history
Last decades on the day of March 8, women are honored not for achievements or labor feats, but for their elegant weakness, defenselessness, wisdom and beauty. But it was not always so. Worship of the female principle began in ancient times. The suppressed and oppressed weak sex hour from hour tried to declare the rights, demanding to exclude any discrimination and to fulfill certain requirements, at times absurd. For example, in 1857, American factory workers demanded to equate their working day to the male 10-hour.
The founder of the holiday, celebrated to this day, was the well-known Clara Zetkin, the leader of the German Social Democrats. But at the beginning of the twentieth century, the day of March 8 was not at all so solemn and romantic. Women's half of the population organized numerous strikes, rallies, riots, for which the representatives were not once under arrest. Probably, thanks to the fortitude of the spirit manifested at that distant hour, today girls, women and grandmothers are a full-fledged part of society, achieve success in various fields of activity, build and secure their home hearth

A revolutionary holiday, previously aimed at attracting male attention to the female person, is treated differently today. Now this is an international day for lovely ladies. He is eagerly awaited by all citizens of the country, in order to spend an official day off at the festive table in a warm atmosphere. It remains to find out how many days we rest on March 8 in 2016. Perhaps the year of the monkey, at least this time, will give us a pleasant surprise?
According to the Government Decree of September 2015, the transfer of the holiday on January 3 (Sunday) to March 7 (Monday) is regulated. Thus, we can easily calculate how many days rest on March 8:
- 5 March - Saturday (standard holiday)
- 6 March - Sunday (standard holiday)

Such news can not but rejoice. Four full-fledged days off will be almost the best gift for the female half of the population. It remains to plan in advance the useful time and finally decide: where, with whom and how we rest on March 8, 2016.
