Is there a Women's Day in America?

The United States does not celebrate Women's Day, but there is a "Women's Month".

March 8 every year is International Women's Day, and all walks of life often hold various women's rights and interests activities on this day to celebrate and commemorate. However, in the United States, the birthplace of International Women's Day in history, almost no one celebrates this festival now, and even fewer people know about it. There is a reason for this, and although the United States does not celebrate Women's Day, there is a "Women's Month", so let Lao Huang Li introduce it to you. March 8th International Women's Day is not only a household name in China, but also a legal holiday in which all women can take half a day off. However, this festival called "International" is little known in the United States.

Tracing back to the source, March 8th International Women's Day originated in the United States, just like May 1st International Labor Day, to commemorate the American workers' movement at the end of/kloc-0 and the beginning of the 20th century. On March 8th, 1857, female garment and textile workers in new york, USA held a demonstration to protest against inhuman working environment, 12-hour working system and low wages. The marchers were surrounded by police and dispersed. Two years later, in March, these women formed their first trade union. March 8th was designated as International Women's Day at the first international women's conference held in 19 10. When World War I broke out, European women began to choose to take to the streets on March 8 to hold peaceful anti-war rallies and demonstrations. After the success of the October Revolution, the Soviet Union designated March 8 as the legal women's day. 1975, the United Nations officially held activities to celebrate International Women's Day on March 8th.
