Today is International Women's Day! The first International Women's Day was celebrated on Feb. 28, 1909, upon invitation fo the American Socialist Party, within the context of the women's suffrage movement.
During the International Year of Women, in 1975, the UN voted March 8 International Women's Day.
In July 2010, the UN National Assembly voted for the creation of UN Women, The United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women.
