History of International Women’s Day
First celebrated in 1911, International Women’s Day was celebrated that year in Austria, Germany, Denmark and Switzerland. 100 years after that, in 2011, the Centenary of Women’s Day was celebrated and in 2023, this year we are celebrating the 112th International Women’s Day. However, this day was officially recognized by the United Nations in 1975.
Feminist movement in 1910
Let’s review the feminist movement in 1910, let’s say the women’s equality campaign in America at that time. Women’s Day began in New York City in 1908 when 15,000 women protested against inequality such as shorter working hours, equal pay and the right to vote. A year later, the Socialist Party of America announced the first National Women’s Day.
The reason why Women’s Day falls on March 8 is a bit interesting. According to the then Julian calendar, the date when the women’s movement started was Sunday, February 23. This date is March 8 according to the Gregorian calendar and therefore Women’s Day falls on March 8 every year is celebrated
