Sitat:

Lilla symboliserer rettferdighet og verdighet, grønt symboliserer håp og hvitt representerer renhet.

Hvorfor er kvinnedagen symbolisert med en farger som symboliserer renhet? Slik den hvite brudekjolen symboliserer renhet? Eller er det noe helt annet det er snakk om her?

What colors symbolize International Women's Day?
Purple, green and white are the colors of International Women's Day. Purple signifies justice and dignity, and being loyal to the cause. Green symbolizes hope. White represents purity, albeit a controversial concept. The colors originated from the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) in the UK in 1908.

Sitat:

In the United States, the purple, white, and gold combination was used by the National Woman’s Party. The organisation described the meaning of these colours in a newsletter published December 6, 1913, “Purple is the color of loyalty, constancy to purpose, unswerving steadfastness to a cause. White, the emblem of purity, symbolises the quality of our purpose; and gold, the color of light and life, is as the torch that guides our purpose, pure and unswerving.”

The colour white often found its place in the flags of the suffragist’s movement. Suffragists were often portrayed as masculine and ugly by the anti-feminist. In order to counter that anti-suffrage media image, suffragists wore dresses in parades that were often all white, with suffrage sashes. These white dresses symbolised the femininity and purity of the suffrage cause.

Wearing purple on this day shows that you are joining other women across the world in solidarity to celebrate this special day which also marks a call to action for accelerating gender parity.

Det finnes sikkert bedre kilder, men det står en del om det i denne artikkelen fra National Geographic om stemmerettsbevegelsen i UK og US:

Sitat:

But white, symbolizing purity, is the color most associated with suffragists today. Long associated with youth, virginity, and moral virtue, white suggested that women could be expected to vote for politicians and policies that would better society. In massive suffrage parades, white-clad women contrasted with the crowds of darkly dressed men.

The color had practical benefits, too. “White cotton dresses made an impression en masse, were consistently in style, relatively inexpensive, and easy to maintain,” writes Sarah Gordon, curatorial scholar at the Center for Women’s History at the New York Historical Society.

Edit: Der hadde Tallulah funnet noe i samme gata, ja.

Siden dere har løst saken, så vil jeg komme med en liten avsporing, med det samme.

Jeg leser for tiden en av Jo Benkows biografier om Kong Olav, og han skriver om hun som var kongens barnepleier eller guvernante, en Ms. Butler. Hun var en flott dame av "god familie", men ble altså rotet inn i kvinnesaksbevegelsen og ble suffragette, så da fikk hun rett og slett sparken. Det var hårde bud, altså! Jeg kjenner at den historien nesten kunne blitt en film!
