In which country did Women's Day originate?

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 socialist feminist movements that took place in Europe and America in the early 20th century jointly contributed to the birth of International Women's Day.

Every time the International Women's Day comes, women's organizations and feminist activists from all over the world work hard to push women's rights into the important agenda of national, regional and international human rights fields, and point out the gender blind spots of international or national issues regarding women's issues. They encourage and organize women to share their personal experiences, discuss issues such as pornographic culture, nurseries, sexual harassment, rape, domestic violence (such as wife beating, child abuse), etc., and urge some important government websites to reflect surveys and reports on women's living and working conditions and formulate relevant policies.
In China, on the eve of International Women's Day, the All-China Women's Federation launched selection activities such as "National March 8th Red Flag Bearer Model" and "National March 8th Red Flag Collective" to commend the achievements of Chinese women. The selection criteria include:
1. They are red in thought and full of energy; 2. They make great efforts to carry out technological innovation and revolution in industrial and agricultural production, in collective life and welfare, in social services, and in all fronts of socialist construction, and constantly improve labor productivity and work efficiency; 3. They strive to improve their cultural level, study hard and delve into science; 4. They are good at uniting the masses and giving full play to the communist spirit of cooperation.
Anyone who meets the above conditions or one of the conditions and has made outstanding achievements in completing production or work plans can be called a national advanced women producer, advanced worker or advanced collective factory.
