Why is March 8th considered women's day? It is said that one of the goals was to fight for universal suffrage for women, did you know that?) The proposal was unanimously supported by over 100 women from 17 countries, but the date of celebration was not fixed. Until 1914 this day was celebrated in different countries on different days of March, in particular, in 1911 it was marked for the first time in Germany, Austria, Denmark and Switzerland on March 19 at the suggestion of a member of the Central Committee of Social-democratic party of Germany Helen Grinberg to mark the March revolution in Prussia in 1848. In 1912, the day was already celebrated in the same countries on May 12

In 1913 women went to rallies for the first time in France and Russia - March 2, mass demonstrations were also held in Austria, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Switzerland and the Netherlands - March 9, in Germany - March 12
In 1914, women in Austria, Hungary, Germany, the Netherlands, Russia, the United States, Switzerland and other countries celebrated International Women's Day on March 8
