started in 1909 by the socialist party of america, International Women's Day stands to celebrate the economic, political and social achievements of women.
recognized most of the world over as a national holiday, it has begun to represent less of the social/economic/political advancements of women and instead become a combination of valentines day and mothers day.
this year, IWD focuses its sights on ending violence against women and girls the world over. a much better holiday then valentines day!
