History of International Women's Day
In 1911, in memory of the early campaigns of women workers in the United States who led the movement for decent working conditions, the German labor leader Clara Zetkin proposed that March 8th be proclaimed International Women's Day (IWD).
Over the next 60 years, March 8th was celebrated by hundreds of thousands of European
women. By 1967, women groups in the United States began to celebrate the event and
by 1970, owing to the growing women's liberation movement, thousands of events were
planned in most major cities.
In 1980 International Women's Day was used as the focus for the first National Women's
History Week, which in 1987, the entire month of March was recognized as National
Women's History Month.

Half the Sky
$27.00

This compelling book lays out an agenda for the world's women and three major abuses:
sex trafficking and forced prostitution; gender-based violence including honor killings
and mass rape; maternal mortality, which needlessly claims one woman a minute.
This kind of oppression feels transcendent – and so does the opportunity. Outsiders can
truly make a difference. Hard cover 80 pages
