Badass Women: Celebrating #IWD25
from So Much To Say: A Legal Podcast For People · host Megan Senese & Jennifer Ramsey
Today, we are doing something a little different in honor of International Women's Day (IWD) on March 8th. For those who are not familiar with the origins of International Women's Day (IWD) it has been observed since the early 1900s. The history of International Women's Day (IWD) includes the first National Women's Day in 1909, the first IWD in 1911, and the UN's involvement starting in 1975. Controversy clouds the history of International Women’s Day. According to a common version of the holiday’s origins, it was established in 1907 to mark the 50th anniversary of a brutally repressed protest by New York City’s female garment and textile workers. But there’s a problem with that story: Neither the 1857 protest nor the 50th-anniversary tribute may have actually taken place.Links & Resources:Learn more about International Women's DayLove So Much To Say?
