HOUSTON – Happy International Women’s Day!
A year later “National Women’s Day” was first celebrated, which women continued to celebrate on the last Sunday of February until 1913.
In 1911, International Women’s Day was honored for the first time in Copenhagen, Denmark, with more than one million women and men attending rallies campaigning for women’s rights to work, vote and hold office.
AdThis year’s theme for International Women’s Day is called “#ChooseToChallenge’, which signifies the responsibility for one’s own thoughts and actions every day, according to the campaign’s website.
Another way to celebrate women is to donate to a female-focused charity such as Dress for Success and Equality Now.
