IWD: 100 years of struggle for women's liberation

Submitted by Judy Rebick on Mon, 03/07/2011 - 9:19am

The history of IWD is a history of the struggle of ordinary women to throw off the burden of the oppression and discrimination they faced.    In 1908, 15,000 women marched through New York City demanding shorter hours, better pay and voting rights.  The first National Women’s Day was celebrated in 1909 to demand right to vote, be trained, hold office and an end to discrimination on March 19.

It is International Women’s Day 2010, forty years after the Report of the Royal Commission on the Status of Women. A generation has passed, my generation. In some ways, there has been a revolution in the status of women since that time.
