A woman named Clara
Zetkin (Leader of the
'Women's Office' for theSocial Democratic Party
in Germany) tabled the
idea of an International
Women's Day.
She proposed that every
year in every country
there should be a
celebration on the same
day - a Women's Day - to
press for their demands.

The very first International
Women's Day was launched
the following year by clara
zetkin on 19 March 1911(not 8
March).
This date was chosen because,on that date in 1848, the
Prussian king, faced with an
armed uprising, had promised
many reforms, including anunfulfilled one of votes for
women.

Meetings were organized everywhere in smalltowns and even the villages halls were packed
so full that male workers were asked to giveup their places for women.
Men stayed at home with their children for achange, and their wives, the captive
housewives, went to meetings.

30,000 women, the police decided to remove
the demonstrators' banners so the womenworkers made a stand. In the scuffle that
