Today is the 110th International Women s Day
By Lara Rasin
A short history of International Women s Day
The first Women s Day dates back to the early 20th century. It emerged during times marked by industrialization, as workers organizations and women s movements for universal suffrage developed in parallel.
A movement started in the United States
In 1908, the US Socialist Party established the Women s National Committee, which adopted a proposal to mark Women s Day once a year.
Its fundamental goal? Fighting for women s suffrage.
The following year marked the first National Women s Day in the US, and with it came the first-ever mass, nationwide strikes. Some were a part of the continuous struggle for women s voting rights, and others encompassed numerous protests against awful working conditions in factories.
