The earliest version was a "Women's Day" organised by the Socialist Party of America in New York City on 28 February 1909. This inspired German delegates at the 1910 International Socialist Women's Conference to propose "a special Women's Day" be organized annually, albeit with no set date. The following year saw the first demonstrations and commemorations of International Women's Day across Europe. The rest is history, but the struggle for gender equality is ongoing.
