Yesterday was International Women’s Day and it is 110 years since the first one was held, having been discussed at the International Socialist Woman’s Conference held in Germany in 1907. This was a historical moment in which the women’s movement was radical in nature and known for its campaign for electoral participation. Writing for slow news website Tortoise, Liz Moseley lamented this loss of radicalism, saying: “The whole IWD thing has gone . . . well, it’s all a bit ‘bake sale’ isn’t it?” True though this may be, International Women’s Day affords us all a vital reminder of the historical struggle women, and other groups, have faced, but also offers the opportunity to reflect upon those women who have shaped, and continue to shape, who we are.
