History of International Women’s Day
The history of International Women’s Day (IWD), though comparatively short is as bold and brilliant as its founders themselves.
Long before the Feminist Movement of the 1960s, International Women’s Day’s genesis goes back to February 28, 1909, New York, U.S.A., with a prophetic focus on women’s rights.
Known originally as “National Woman’s Day” it was first proposed by Theresa Malkiel and loosely based on the urban legend commemorating a protest by women garment workers in New York City, on March 8, 1857.
Inspired by Malkeil and other American activists, German Socialist Luise Zietz suggested there be an annual Women’s Day which was quickly seconded by sister activist, Clara Zetkin and supported by Kate Duncker. One hundred women delegates from 17 countries agreed with the suggestion as a means to continue promoting the rights of women, including suffrage (the right to vote).
On March 19, 1911, International Women’s Day was officially marked for the first time. More than one million people celebrated in Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland. Women demanded the right to vote, to fight against sex discrimination in the workplace, and to hold public office.
