International Women’s Day is Thursday, March 8th and it is celebrated by people all over the world. It is a day with a global focus on equality and celebration. The history of this day dates back to the early 1900’s when women in New York City protested against long hours, low wages, and fought for the right to vote. In March 2011, President Barack Obama declared the month of March to be “Women’s History Month” so this day is part of a larger, month-long celebration of women.
