Few women had the opportunity to play a leading role. However, in the last two decades women have moved several notches up shattering the age-old stereotypes of women being only the followers playing the second fiddle.

History of International Women’s Day: International Women’s Day was first established at the 1910 International Socialist Women’s Conference in Copenhagen. German women’s rights activist and Marxist theorist Clara Zetkin was the one who tabled the idea. Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Denmark celebrated the holiday for the first time on March 19th, 1911, with the Soviet Union being the first to make it a public holiday. The date of 8th March was adopted internationally in 1921. In 1977, the United Nations declared 8th March as International Women’s Day, a day each year when the world should celebrate, recognize and remember women and the accomplishments they have made for society. So far, 27 countries (mainly former Soviet republics) have adopted International Women’s Day as a national holiday, and it is widely observed in several others.
