Two years later, also in March, the American female workers in the weaving company established the first union that was protected and gained some benefits.
About 50 years later, on March 8, 1908, 15,000 women marched on the streets of New York demanding a raise, reducing working hours and canceling children to work. After that, the United States Socialist Party announced that the International Women’s Day was February 28, 1909.
However, on March 8, 1910, at the 2nd International Women’s Conference (Socialist International), 100 women from 17 countries demanded the right to vote for women.
