International Women's Day (IWD) emerged during a period in history when the women's rights movement reached a boiling point. Decades before the right to vote was won, female workers were fighting for the right to fair pay and working conditions that weren't deadly. Industrialization was changing the political and economic landscape, and new ideologies were spreading and growing stronger.

The meaning of International Women's Day has evolved from those first years when women had very few rights to speak of, but it's still just as important in 2024 as it was in 1911. Click through this gallery to get the full history of IWD.
