Poster - Internationaler Frauentag (International Women's Day)

International Women's Day by Mihaly Biro, 1925.

The first recorded Women's Day was in New York on 28 February 1909, organised by the Socialist Party of America, and was primarily focused on the right to vote. On 11 March 1911 over a million people across Europe marched on the first International Women's Day. On 8 March 1917 a demonstration of women textile workers in St Petersburg was the spark that ignited the February Revolution, and led ultimately to the Russian Revolution. In 1921, the Communist International, in recognition of the role of women in the revolution, committed to organising an annual International Working Women's Day on 8 March. This was taken up by socialists and communists, particularly in Eastern Bloc countries. In the 1960s the new wave of feminists in Europe and America started to mark International Women's Day and the idea gradually spread across the world.
