The history of Women’s Day can be traced back to the early 1900s. During this period of rapid industrialization and the rise of radical ideologies, the plight of women triggered their empowerment. In 1908, more than 15,000 women marched through New York City to demand less hours, higher pay, and the right to vote. The Socialist Party of America officially declared the first International Women’s Day on February 28, 1911. Since then, it has been celebrated on the last Sunday of February as the day for women to demonstrate their rights.
The first celebration of “Women’s Day” was held in Chicago on May 3, 1908. This was an event organized by the U.S. Socialist Party, which brought together more than one thousand women in a rally demanding economic and political equality. The slogan was widely adopted and became popular throughout the United States. In the following years, the movement gained momentum in Europe, which led to more formalized celebrations. At the time, women were fighting for the right to vote and hold public office, and they were also protesting World War I. Soon, other countries in Europe followed suit and began celebrating Women’s Day on the third Tuesday of March.
After the revolution, the concept of “Women’s day” began to catch on in Europe. The first International Women’s Day was celebrated in Europe on March 19, 1911, the 40th anniversary of the Paris Commune, a radical socialist government in France in 1871. The first International Women’s Day rallies drew more than one million people worldwide. In 1916, World War I stopped most attempts at social reform, but women continued to demonstrate on March 8 to continue the cause.
International Women’s Day began to become a worldwide holiday in the United States in 1908. Although no country has claimed credit for the holiday, the Socialist Party of America officially declared it the first National Women’s Day in the United States. The United Nations recognized International Women’sDay on Feb. 8 in 1911. In 2011, the celebration was officially recognized by the United Nations. The day was later celebrated around the world in many countries.
A Women’s rights struggle dates back centuries. In ancient Greece, the Lysistrata initiated a sexual strike against men to end a war. In 1815, Parisian women marched to Versailles to demand suffrage for women. The first “Women’s Day” was officially declared by the Socialist Party of America. This day is observed in countries where the Socialist Party was dominant.
Historically, women’s rights have been recognized for many centuries. The first National Women’s Day was celebrated in the United States on Feb. 28, 1909. The Socialist Party of America declared the day as a “national holiday” in 1909 and proclaimed it as a “day to highlight the achievements of women. Its supporters included the workers’ rights organizations and unions. Afterwards, feminism was regarded as a means to an end.

In 1917, the Russian revolution was a result of these demonstrations.
