Today, March 8th, marks International Womens' Day .. a holiday that celebrates the achievements of women, particularly in the fields of economics, politics and society.
International Womens' Day was established as an official holiday in Bulgaria in 1944, with the arrival of the Socialist regime but its popularity really took off during the 1960s. The holiday is now also about paying tribute to mothers and invloves giving flowers and other gifts.
The history of the day can be charted back to 1910 when an international conference of working women was held in Copenhagen. Clara Zetkin, leader of the womens' office for Germany's Social Democratic Party (SDP), tabled the idea of an International day for Women. Her original proposal was that every year, in every country, there should be a Womens' Day celebration on the same day.
The inaugural International Womens' Day was launched the following year on March 19 and its success exceeded all expectation. In 1913 International Womens' Day was transferred to 8 March and this day has remained the global date for International Women's Day ever since.
