Today is International Women’s Day, a global celebration of the social, economic, and political achievements of women. The day was first marked in 1911, and continues to be a call to action for accelerating women’s equality. Many of you know of the fire that occurred at the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory in New York City, causing the deaths of 146 young female workers; this tragedy established the modern commemoration of International Women’s Day on March 8th.
Today, I am so honored and grateful (Wordless, even!) to be included in an article published in International Fire and Safety Journal (IFSJ), written by Esther Gitau, Testing Technician at Emirates Safety Lab. The article highlights seven women working in fire sciences and fire safety engineering, “who have made significant contributions to these fields, bringing innovative ideas, critical thinking, and diverse perspectives.”

Congratulations Lori. Impressive. May I say that iDigHardware has been a beacon of clarity and insight in a sea of confusion and misinformation. I have referred to it (and your wisdom) more times than I can count and have often referred it to others. How many people can say that their work has had an impact around the globe? Sending good vibes and encouragement to all of the site’s contributors.
Wow – thanks for saying so!!!

You are indeed in good company, Lori! Congratulations on the recognition! Now the rest of the world will know what we have known for a long time!
Aww – thanks Deputy! I remember maybe 8 or 9 years ago, the president of a small hardware manufacturer went to Dubai, and when he came back he told me that people there knew about iDigHardware! I was shocked!
