However, if International Women's Day falls on Saturday or Sunday, there will be no compensatory holiday. In which country did International Women's Day originate?March 8th, also known as International Women's Day, was first celebrated on February 28, 1909.After the establishment of the National Women's Committee of the Socialist Party of the United States, it decided to designate the last Sunday of February each year as "National Women's Day" starting in 1909, specifically for organizing large-scale rallies and parades. The reason for choosing Sunday is to avoid female workers having to take leave to participate in the event, which would put extra financial burden on them. However, International Women's Day did not originate in a specific country. On the United Nations webpage introducing International Women's Day, the origin of International Women's Day is attributed to a series of major women's movement events in the early 20th century. It can be said that it was this series of feminist movements that took place in Europe and America in the early 20th century that jointly led to the birth of International Women’s Day on March 8, rather than the assumption that International Women’s Day is just a legacy of the international communist movement. 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 by holding demonstrations against the First World War; on March 8, 1914, women in many European countries held anti-war demonstrations; on March 8, 1917 (February 23 in the Russian calendar), 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. Do you want to know your own Bazi?
