Tomorrow the world will join together in marking International Women’s Day.
But do you know when this annual event devoted to celebrating the achievements of women and seeking gender equality began?
Its origins actually date back over a century to 1909 in America when it was known as National Women’s Day – but it became an international event shortly afterwards.
In fact, it was just a year later, in 1910, that activist Clara Zetkin called for an International Women’s Day to give women a greater voice in their campaign for equal rights and it was celebrated, for the first time, in 1911, becoming an annual fixture in 1913.
