In recent decades, women across the world have made great strides in the fight for representation in government, receiving equal pay, and working in industries that are traditionally male-dominated. However, the battle continues. Millions of women continue to go unnoticed for their contributions to science, art, film, literature, philosophy, and culture. On International Women's Day, people from around the world come together to celebrate the history of women and recognize their incredible accomplishments.
The reasons why people celebrate International Women's Day are almost too numerous to list. Here are just a few reasons why you might want to mark this date on your calendar:
The first International Women's Day was celebrated in New York in 1909. After the success of this day, women around the world campaigned to make the day a major holiday. The United Nations officially recognized International Women's Day as a holiday in 1977. For decades, women and men have celebrated the holiday as part of the feminist movement.
International Women's Day deals and discounts change every year, but here's a look at some of the deals that businesses are offering now.
