You probably know the history of the International Women’s Day.
On March 8, 1908, the meeting for equal women’s rights was held at the call of the New York Social Democratic women's organization. On this day, more than 15 000 women marched through the city demanding the reduction of the working day, equal wage conditions and women’s suffrage. So the day was symbolized solidarity of women in the struggle for equal rights and emancipation.
Since then this day became the holiday in many countries and lost its original meaning. It became just a women’s holiday when men dedicate this day to their women who make them gifts and give flowers. You can even find some March 8 t-shirts at Amazon with designs made in spring colors with flowers and ribbons.
But with the recent political development in the USA perhaps the original purpose of the International Women's Day became actual again?
