Happy Women's Day Hayohiner !

Today marks the International Women's Day, and on this occasion I would like to congratulate all the Armenian Women, and I encourage you all to do so ...

Congratulate them all, the mother, the sister, the wife, the daughter, the fiancee and the friend. Make them feel special this day, and let them know that "They Do Matter"...

Armenian Women need to be recognized for their outstanding role in Armenian Communities & in Armenian struggle to survive, their role in preserving the Armenian identity and passing it to their children, and their key role in keeping the Armenian family together...


We call our language "Mayer Lezuo" [Mother Tongue], maybe that's because we learn it from our mothers !!



In this occasion I wanted to share with you an interesting Bibliography of Works in English on Armenian Women prepared by Armenian International Women's Association , to learn more about Armenian Women's role through out our history.
