International Women’s Day is Monday, March 8. The day is celebrated globally and acknowledges the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women.
The day has been observed in some form since the early 1900s when women became more active in advocating for workplace and voting rights. The first National Woman’s Day was observed in the United States on Feb. 27, 1909. The day went on to gain recognition across the globe and was celebrated in many countries for several years before eventually losing steam.
