International Women's Day Flowers

International Women's Day arose of a socialist movement. To demand equal rights and the right to vote for women, as well as emancipation for women workers. This happened before the First World War and was initiated by women's rights activist Clara Zetkin in 1910. In fact, International Women's Day was banned during the Second World War.

Instead of International Women's Day, Mother's Day was elevated to a bank holiday, as it corresponded more to the ideal image of women at that time. But women still celebrated International Women's Day: behind closed doors, but red linen was hung out of the window as a sign of celebration.

On 8 March 1917, women workers, peasants and Solfate women in what is now Saint Petersburg, Russia took to the streets to strike and protest, sparking the February Revolution. And so, during the Second International Conference of Communist Women in 1921 in Moscow, Russia, 8 March was established as International Women's Day, instigated by Clara Zetkin.

Today, we still celebrate International Women's Day and are very proud to express appreciation, esteem, and respect towards women. Of course, this should actually happen every day and be the absolute norm in society.
