International Women's Day is celebrated each year on March 8. It is a holiday that recognizes women's achievements and promotes their rights. In 1910, a group of women fighting for the right to vote met at an International Women's Conference in Copenhagen. Clara Zetkin, a German advocate for women's rights, proposed celebrating an annual "Women's Day" to promote equal rights for women.
