Celebrated on March 8 annually, International Women's Day is a focal point in the movement for women's rights. After the Socialist Party of America organized a Women's Day on February 28, 1909 in New York, at the suggestion of at the suggestion of suffragist Theresa Malkiel, the 1910 International Socialist Woman's Conference suggested a Women's Day be held every year. German Socialist Luise Zietz proposed the idea and was seconded by fellow socialist and later communist leader Clara Zetkin, supported by German political and feminist activist Käte Duncker.

After women gained suffrage in Soviet Russia in 1917, March 8 became a national holiday there. The day was then communally celebrated by the socialist movement and communist countries until it was adopted in 1975 by the United Nations. International Women's Day is a public holiday in some countries today and largely ignored elsewhere. It is a day of protest in some countries. In others, it is a day that celebrates womanhood.

Women’s day is a holiday that is celebrated all over the world. This is the moment wherein women from different parts of the globe are recognized for all of their achievement. This may be the time when they are recognized for the things that they have paved the way for. This disregards the differences in race, nationality, and so much more.

There are a lot of women who deserve this type of recognition even if they live in a world that is mostly powered by men, they are starting to improve and show that they can still do things that men cannot do. This is a day that is meant to get rid of the discrimination against women simply because of their gender.
