On March 8, women and girls should celebrate. Women have International (Working) Women's Day to commemorate -- a march by women textile workers in 1857. Girls Write Now Day celebrates girls, girl writers and "overall girl awesomeness."
Encourage girls to follow their muse and "put pen to paper and explore the beauty and power of their unique, creative voices," says Maya Nussbaum of Girls Write Now.
To mark the day:
* Give your daughter, younger sister or cousin a journal.
* Consider mentoring a young writer.
* Host an open poetry reading at your local coffee shop or school for aspiring girl writers.
