This holiday dates back to 1909 when women were fighting for the right to vote. This small group of women then led to an international holiday that is observed by more than 100 countries around the world. Today is the day to celebrate every woman and girl to show them that they matter. Please take time today to learn more about the history of this special day. Then take time to participate in an activity to honor this day.
