WHY DO WE CELEBRATE INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY ON MARCH 8?

Today's date commemorates the Women's March in Petrograd, Russia that started the Russian Revolution in 1917.  On February 28, 1908, 15,000 women marched in New York City demanding shorter hours, better pay and the right to vote.  Similar marches were held all over Europe.  Today, women all over this planet will march in protest as well as to highlight the role that women play in the domestic and global economy.
