On March 8th, International Women’s Day commemorates the 1911 marches organized by women fighting for their rights. The observance dates back to 1908 when over 15,000 women participated in a New York City demonstration. Juku-Kalle Raid highlights the origins of the day, noting the somewhat unconventional historical roots, including the involvement of communist feminists and other groups. Exactly 115 years ago, thousands of women took to the streets to advocate for equality. The tradition of giving flowers to women on this day has persisted.
