Daughter's Day

Women activists in Taipei, Taiwan are putting a new twist on a centuries-old tradition known as Daughter's Day.
"Traditionally, Daughter's Day celebrates a girl's transition to womanhood and wishes them luck in finding a good husband. But in fighting for gender equality, we want it to send a more aggressive message, empowering young girls to pursue their dreams," said Garden of Hope Foundation director, Chi Hui-jung.
I think this could be a successful version of Take Our Daughters to Work Day. Oh wait, excuse me, I meant Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day. We'll see how long Daughter's Day holds out.
