International Women's Day celebrated at Bluffton shops

Posted by Paula Scott on March 8, 2022 - 8:09am

March 8 is International Women's Day, a designation celebrated by organizations including the World Fair Trade Organization (WFTO) and by Bluffton's Ten Thousand Villages and Book Reviews shops.

Edna Ruth Byler started a global Fair Trade movement with a simple statement: “I’m just a woman trying to help other women.” She bought handmade goods for a fair price and sold them in the U.S. market, originally from the trunk of her car. The Bluffton store continues Edna's legacy and the work of Lois Kreider to bring the first Fair Trade gift and thrift store to the United States.
