International Women's Day?

It's been around a long time, 1909 under the title of called "National Woman's Day" in NYC. Soon becoming international when more places did it in the following years.

But it was started as a socialist and/or communist political women's movement, which haven't exactly been popular in the U.S. Though it became a non-work day in the Soviet Union, and mainly celebrated in communist countries.

Sounds like in 1967s, it sort of transitioned from a political movement with feminist ties, to more specific a feminist movement (and less about socialism/communism but still very strong connects to it).


Red = Official Holiday
Orange= Official Holiday for Women only
Yellow = Non-offical Holiday
Everywhere else, it's a named day

relatively speaking, quite new, about one hundred and ten years...

I got flowers, perfume and some ticket to a shop and chocolates.

Get your rights, girl

Like I've already said, strong women don't need this day.

Oh no there are tacos. You can visit any Taco Bell in the lower 48 States and bring in a notarized letter stating you are female or identify as female and you get one Cool Ranch Dorito Taco™ and one Mountain Dew Baja Blast™ Some exceptions apply, not valid with any other offers, supplies are limited.

It started in 1911!

traditionally wasn't celebrated in the States because it was associated with the Soviet Union and socialist/ communist ideas

I've never heard of it until this year. It sounds like something some guys made up to try to get laid.

Happy women’s day, oblivious woman.

I have a feeling that a certain faction within the alphabet soup will feel excluded and call for its demise 😁

It's been thing longer than we been alive.
