Women's Day

Women's Day is celebrated worldwide and first took place in Germany and neighboring countries on March 19, 1911, at the suggestion of German Social Democrat Clara Zetkin. At that time, women wanted to fight for the right to vote, for equality and for the rights of emancipation. The day is meant to commemorate how women stood up for their rights over time. To this day, it is traditional to give flowers on Women's Day to pay respect and show appreciation.
