Today is International Women’s Day (IWD). Something to consider in the midst of corporate breakfasts or cupcakes. #IWD was born out of the struggles of working women. In 1910 Clara Zetkin, a German Communist, proposed an IWD to the International Conference of Working Women. The day was mostly celebrated by the socialist movement until the UN declared the day in 1975. The first IWD was in the US, and came a year after mass protests from working women in NYC in 1908. In Australia, IWD has been celebrated since the early 1920s.
