Late eighties mark the dawn of the celebration of the Women's Day. First of all the society wanted to abolish all the remnants of communism. Besides, there was a strong tendency to adopt Western culture. Valentine Day became popular, although it was completely unknown in Poland till the middle of eighties. Valentine day  replaced somehow the Women Day. Many people also realized that the simple fact that women have this one day in the year puts them in the position of underprivileged and this need to be changed since women role in the society needs to be changed.

 

Now, there is an attempt to revitalize this day. Many women just missed being treated differently and special at least this one time during the year - when men tried to be better husbands or sons - helping in the daily chores.
