Ina Posted March 8, 2008 Author Share Posted March 8, 2008 I have no idea what Womens Day is - or what happened onthe 8th March On the 8. of March in 1908. there's been a demonstration in New York. 15 000 working women went on streets and demanded to have equal rights as men, to have a right to vote, and 8-houres working time, per day (they use to work much longer than 8 houres). In 1910. the 8. of March was declared as International day of women's rights! That's what happened!!! I tought it's celebrated everywhere in the world...I mean...it should be!!! Guess I was wrong...

That's what happened!!! that is an urban legend. the reality is worse Among other relevant historic events, it commemorates the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire (New York, 1911), where over 140 women, mostly italians and hebrews, lost their lives.

Ina Posted March 8, 2008 Author Share Posted March 8, 2008 that is an urban legend. the reality is worse Among other relevant historic events, it commemorates the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire (New York, 1911), where over 140 women, mostly italians and hebrews, lost their lives. "The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire in New York City on March 25, 1911, was the largest industrial disaster in the history of the city of New York, causing the death of 148 garment workers who either died from the fire or jumped to their deaths.The fire led to legislation requiring improved factory safety standards and helped spur the growth of the International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union, which fought for better working conditions for sweatshop workers in that industry." It also influenced this, but it happened later. Right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
