International Women's Day rooted in 20th century labor rights
International Women's Day marks progress in women's equality and rights with rallies and events worldwide. Origin stories blend textile strikes of 1857 and 1908 with early demonstrations for suffrage, leading to official recognition and UN adoption in 1977. This year observes International Women's Week from March 6 to 12.
