What is the origin of International Women’s Day?

On March 8, 1857, women garment and textile workers in New York, USA, held a protest against inhumane working conditions, 12-hour workdays and low wages. The marchers were surrounded and dispersed by the police, and two years later, again in March, the women organized their first union.
In April 1904, China's Women's World published "On the Revolution of Women's Family", and Shenzhou Women's News published "On the Revolution of Women's Family".
On January 14, 1907, the Chinese Women’s Newspaper was founded in Shanghai. Qiu Jin served as editor-in-chief and publisher. The newspaper stated: "The purpose of this newspaper is to open up the atmosphere, promote women's education, build relationships, form groups, and lay the foundation for the establishment of the China Women's Association in the future." It has columns such as "Editorial", "Translation", "Literary Garden", and "News". The newspaper advocates women's liberation in easy-to-understand language, calling on women to step into society and fight for independence of personality and dignity.
On March 8, 1908, 15,000 women marched in New York City, demanding shorter working hours, better pay, voting rights, and a ban on child labor. Their slogan was "Bread and Roses", with bread symbolizing economic security and roses symbolizing a better quality of life. In May, the Socialist Party of America decided to designate the last Sunday in February as Women's Day in the country.
