International Women’s Day or Working Women’s Day takes place on 8 March and has its origins in circumstances that culminated in a March 1912 strike, known as the Bread and Roses strike, staged by the women workers of a textile factory in Lawrence, Massachusetts (for whom bread represented the struggle for higher salaries, and roses, better living conditions).
