We all likely have some pretty amazing women in our lives that we feel indebted to and would like to celebrate and every March the whole world celebrates women with International Women’s Day. In Italy, in particular, there are specific ways to celebrate the day and traditions that have been created around this holiday.
International Women’s Day, which takes place on the 8th of March, traces its origins to women’s suffrage and labour movements in the 20th century. The earliest iteration of a formal day to celebrate women and promote the pursuit of equality and the establishment of more rights for women is said to have been a Women’s Day that was organsied by the Socialist Party of America in New York City on the 28th of February 1909. Then, in 1910, German delegates at the International Socialist Women's Conference suggested the idea of an annual version, though with no set date at that time.
