100th year of International Women’s Day - 8th March 2010

(click on the cartoon for full view)
8th March 2010 was celebrated across the globe as 100th year of International Women’s Day.
Two very important happenings took place that very day. Firstly, Kathryn Bigelow (director, The Hurt Locker) became the first woman ever to win the Oscar for Best Director. Secondly, world largest democracy's main opposition party Lok Sabha head (Mrs. Sushma Swaraj) voiced concurrently with the high command of largest party of world’s largest democracy (Mrs. Sonia Gandhi) over 33% reservation for women in parliamentary legislature.
ps: I usually don’t sketch females but after witnessing Mr. Ajit Ninan sketching Sonia Gandhi (that too LIVE), I have attempted the same in this caricature. Hope it reflects.
