The celebration of International Women's Day on March 8th has its roots in the early 20th century. The first National Woman's Day was observed in the United States in 1909, and it quickly gained popularity in other countries. In 1910, the idea of an international day for women was proposed at the International Conference of Working Women in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Did you know that March 8th is International Women's Day?

The following year, on March 19, 1911, the first International Women's Day was celebrated in Austria, Denmark, Germany, and Switzerland. The event was marked by rallies and demonstrations advocating for women's rights, including the right to vote, work, and hold public office.

In the years that followed, International Women's Day became an annual event celebrated by women and men around the world. During World War I, the day was used to promote peace and protest against the war. In the Soviet Union, the day became a public holiday and was used to celebrate the achievements of women in the Communist Party.

Today, International Women's Day is celebrated in many different ways around the world. It is a day to celebrate the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women, as well as to raise awareness of the ongoing struggle for gender equality. It is also a day to honor the women who have fought for women's rights and to inspire future generations to continue the fight.
