Origin of International Women's Day
On the website of the United Nations introducing the International Women's Day, the origin of the "March 8" International Women's Day is attributed to a series of major events of women's movement in the early 20th century, including:
In 1910, at the Second International Copenhagen Conference, more than 100 women representatives from 17 countries, led by Clara Caitkin, planned to establish the International Women's Day, but no exact date was set;
On March 19, 1911, more than 1 million women in Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland gathered to celebrate International Women's Day;
On the last Sunday of February 1913, Russian women celebrated their International Women's Day by demonstrating;
On March 8, 1914, women in many European countries held anti-war demonstrations;
On March 8, 1917 (February 23, Russian calendar), in order to commemorate the nearly 2 million Russian women killed in the First World War, Russian women held a strike, marking the beginning of the "February Revolution". Four days later, the czar was forced to abdicate, and the interim government announced that women would be granted the right to vote.
