ICE-CREAM FOR BREAKFAST
When sleeping women wake, mountains move" is a powerful phrase symbolizing feminine empowerment and collective strength. It suggests that when marginalized or calm women find their voice, realize their inner power, and take action. While popularly circulated as a Chinese proverb, its true geographical origin is untraceable, and it has evolved into a universal metaphor for resilience.
The holiday was invented on a snowy February morning during the 1960s by Florence Rappaport in Rochester, New York, the mother of six children. To entertain her two youngest children, Ruth (now Kristal) and Joe she declared it to be Ice Cream For Breakfast Day.
