The International Women's Day is celebrated 8 March. This holiday is imbued with freshness of the first flowers and tender spring colors, wonderful mood, joy, kindness and infinite gratitude towards women. It is an official holiday in many countries.
The history of the event traces back to 8 March 1857, when female textile workers staged a casserole protest in New York. The participants demanded better working conditions and payment increases. Clara Zetkin, a German political leader and women's rights activist, proposed the establishment of an International Women's Day on 8 March. In Russia, the holiday was first celebrated in 1913.
It is customary to accord courtesy to women and give them presents, postcards, chocolates, and of course, such flowers as mimosas, snowdrops, tulips and daffodils on this spring day.
