A day dedicated to celebrating the cultural, social, and political achievements of women.

And a day to reflect on the issues that they still face globally.

But when did International Women’s Day start, who started it, and did it help destroy a

To unravel the true history of Women's Day we need to go back over 100 years.

The first hints of it appear around 1900.

The German Social Democratic Party were holding conferences to discuss women's issues.

Such as the fact that they weren't allowed to vote.

By 1907 the International Conference of Socialist Women had gathered in Stuttgart, Germany.

This was led by Clara Zetkin a German Marxist from the German Social Democratic Party.

One of her primary goals was to get women into work so that they could take part in

So they had the means to improve their own conditions.

“the right to universal female suffrage without qualifications of property, tax, education

or any other kind of barrier which may hinder members of the working class from availing

Across the ocean in the US the Socialist Party and the Women’s national committee had declared

Marching through the streets of New York they protested for better pay and working conditions.

Which took place on the 28th of February 1909.

Following this a second International Conference of Working Women came together in 1910.

There in Copenhagen over 100 delegates from across the world came together.

Clara Zetkin pushed the idea of an International Woman's Day.

A day every year and in every country were women could organise and press for equal rights.

After a unanimous vote, International Woman's Day was born.

These women at the conference were pushing some other revolutionary ideas.

They proposed that pregnant women stop working for eight weeks prior to giving birth, and

that women be paid “motherhood insurance” of eight weeks if the child lived and all

working women would enjoy these benefits, including agricultural laborers, home workers

These policies would be paid for by a special maternity fund out of tax revenues.

These policies were supposed to not only help mother’s and keep them safe but also pay

women for the essential non-paid work that kept society functioning, while allowing them

These policies heavily influenced the ideas of maternity and paternity leave that are

common in nearly all developed countries today.

From it's very start International Woman's Day was a day for working women and it's goal

International Woman's Day celebrations sprang up across Europe.

The first European celebration of International Woman's Day happened in Vienna on March 18

Women marched around the famous Ringstrasse carrying banners including red flags commemorating

the martyrs of the Paris Commune and demanding the equal right to vote.

Millions of flyers soon carpeted Germany.

Behind your demand stands Social Democracy, organized labor.

The Socialist women of all countries are in solidarity with you.

More than a million women took to the streets in Germany.

The fervor continued into 1912 with the Lawrence Textile strike in the US, better known as

Bread and Roses was the slogan coined by Rose Schneiderman.

A Polish-born American socialist and feminist.

"The worker must have bread, but she must have roses, too".

In other words, workers need more than just wages to survive, the bread.

They also need dignity and decent working standards, roses.

More and more demonstrations took place as Woman's day continued to be celebrated.

But then the world decided to have a war.

Across Europe political demonstrations such as Woman's Day were cracked down on to keep

To oppose this war, Clara Zetkin organised the third and final Socialist Women’s Conference

It drew delegates from across the globe including people such as Nadezhda Krupskaya and her

They stated that the war only benefited the rich and the arms manufactures and stole away

The war went on despite all the efforts of thes e women, but the idea of Woman’s Day

The most dramatic celebration of International Woman's Day was in 1917 in Russia.

Women's Day had already caused a ruckus in Russia.

Russian women had observed their first International Woman's Day in 1913.

The following year all the organisers of the International Woman’s Day in Russia ended

But the war had changed things quite quickly.

By 1917 the amount of women working in factories had skyrocketed as men marched off to war.

The women replacing them were paid half as much.

On top of this women found themselves mostly working in the textile and chemical industries.

Ones with long hours and horrific conditions.

Things came to boiling point on International Woman's Day 1917 as women took to the streets
