What is the origin of International Women’s Day?

On the United Nations' website introducing International Women's Day, the origin of International Women's Day is attributed to a series of major events in the women's movement in the early 20th century. These events include:
In 1909, American Socialists designated February 28 as National Women's Day; in 1910, at the Copenhagen Conference of the Second International, more than 100 women representatives from 17 countries, led by Clara Zetkin, planned to establish International Women's Day, but did not specify an exact date; on March 19, 1911, more than 1 million women in Austria, Denmark, Germany, Switzerland and other countries gathered to celebrate International Women's Day; on the last Sunday of February 1913, Russian women celebrated their International Women's Day with demonstrations; on March 8, 1914, women in many European countries held anti-war demonstrations; on March 8, 1917 (February 23 in the Russian calendar), in order to commemorate the nearly 2 million Russian women who died in World War I, Russian women went on strike, which kicked off the "February Revolution". Four days later, the Tsar was forced to abdicate and the provisional government announced that women would be granted the right to vote.
This series of feminist movements that took place in Europe and America in the early 20th century jointly contributed to the birth of International Women's Day.
