legalization of the holiday

1910 -

she suggested that Women's Rights Day should be celebrated annually in all countries. march 19 was approved as the date of such an international
action.

Clara Zetkin

an international conference of Working Women was held in Copenhagen. Clara Zetkin was one of the leaders of the Social Democratic Party of Germany.

an activist of the movement that is now called feminism

in 1910, a woman appeared in this story, whose name is often associated with the history of the holiday.

“Bread

1917 -

and peace!”

february 23, 1917 (according to the new style – just March 8!) A large-scale demonstration took place in Petrograd. the women demanded everything that day.

and the return of husbands
from the front, and the end of the boring war,
and the equation of rights
with men and, of course, bread.

The main slogan of this really massive march was "Bread and peace!". There were strikes on an unprecedented scale in the country, and the authorities were in a fever.

March 8
in the USSR

1921 -

then the October Revolution broke out. Life in the country has turned upside down.

in 1921, by the decision of the 2nd Communist Women's Conference, it was decided to celebrate International Women's Day on March 8 in memory of the participation of women in the demonstration in Petrograd
March 8, 1917.

it was after 1921 that the day of March 8 became well-known in our country.

the status and name of the holiday changed several times, but in the first decades of the existence of Soviet Russia it was most often called the Day of Solidarity of Working Women.

no gifts were given to women for this day, only certificates in labor collectives. After all, the holiday was initially perceived as a political one.

and today, Women's Solidarity Day, founded on a rather far-fetched occasion, remains on the sidelines of public attention.

and yet, outside the socialist world, March 8 was celebrated only by lovers of the history of the socialist movement.

there was no contradiction
with the global trends of that time.

in our country, this act of international recognition was widely reported by the press.

The UN
is an international calling

1975 -

In 1975, the International Year of Women was celebrated at the United Nations level

the socialist countries, led by the USSR, managed to take advantage of this occasion for March 8 to be recognized as international Women's Day at the UN level.

The UN

is an international calling

founder Clara Zetkin believed that choosing a single date would unite all women. on March 8, various mass rallies, meetings, and marches were held.

women advocated labor equality with men, the elimination of any kind of discrimination, the opportunity to have the right to vote in elections, etc.

the victory of equality
and the meaning of the holiday today

initially, International Women's Day was considered not so much a holiday as a day on which women can draw public attention to their problems around the world.

The holiday has not become truly international. Its political essence has long since worn off. The foundations of life are no longer the same as they were 160 years ago

nowadays, March 8 has lost its first meaning for most and has turned into a spring holiday for all women of any age.

however, the modern feminist movement still sometimes organizes various events in order to draw public attention to the current problems of women.
