International Women's Day March 8th - The Red Women's Day A resource-book for educators Introduction International Women's day, founded in 1910, is the worker's women's day. Before 1910, there was feminism, and there was the campaign for women's suffrage, meaning the vote in democratic politics. But these were movements for the gaining of equal rights within the ruling class of any particular nation, by members of the ruling class of that nation. These movements were national, and not international. The founding and continuing basis of the international movement of women was, and still is, the international solidarity of working-class women with each other, and with the working-class men. Before 1910 there were the First and Second Workers' Internationals. These were the real origin and source of the International Women's Day founded by Clara Zetkin and Alexandra Kollontai in Copenhagen in 1910. -- -- You are subscribed. This footer can help you.
