Happy International Women’s Day to all the hard-working women out there.

International Women’s Day has been celebrated for years now, and while many people think of it as a feminist cause, its roots lie in the labour movement. The first-ever Women’s Day was organised in 1911 by the early 20th century Marxist from Germany Clara Zetkin, who was born in Germany’s Wiederau.

Two years later, in 1913, the date was changed to March 8, and it continues to be celebrated as such every year.
