This holiday came out as a result of the big industrial progress, crisis, and radical ideology. It has been shown that The International Day of Women’s has roots in protest and political activism that have become inevitable forms of social life.
The years preceding the 1910s’ were marked by strong gender differences and a small percentage of employed women in the industrialized countries at the time. Those who worked were employed in the textile industry, manufacturing, and domestic helpers. They all worked in very poor conditions and for “little” wages.
That struggle seemed to suppress all other aspects of women’s lives and began to feel the revolutionary change. In 1977, the UN General Assembly adopts a proposal that declares a day to celebrate Women’s Rights and International Peace. A convention on the same subject was held in Copenhagen, Denmark in 1980. The result of these international efforts is the proclamation of March 8th as Women’s Day.
