History of March 8 - International Women's Day
The origin of International Women's Day is shrouded in enchanting tales and myths, making it a challenging task to uncover its true history. However, at its core lies a deep-seated desire of women to achieve parity with men in rights and opportunities. As far back as Ancient Greece, the wives of warriors staged a remarkable sexual protest to hasten the end of battles and reunite with their beloved ones.
Subsequently, women in France staged a grand revolution, demanding voting rights, and in 1908, over 15,000 women marched through the streets of the USA, advocating for equality. The initiative to officially mark this day emerged in 1911, supported by Clara Zetkin. Over the decades, the political undertone of the holiday gradually faded, transforming into a day simply known as 'Women's Day', marked by gestures of gratitude, flowers, and well-wishes to women and girls worldwide.
