In 1910, it was on March 8 that Clara Zetkin and Rosa Luxemburg organized a demonstration of prostitutes in Germany demanding the creation of a trade union for ladies of easy virtue.

Five months later, in August 1910, at the International Socialist Women's Conference in Copenhagen, Clara Zetkin proposed celebrating a single international day of women's solidarity in their struggle for suffrage.

However, the date of the celebration has not been determined.

In 1914, either in memory of the rallies of German prostitutes, or by coincidence with the date of their holding, women went to demonstrations in Austria, Hungary, Germany, the Netherlands, the USA, Switzerland and other countries on March 8 according to the Gregorian calendar.

There were processions on the same day in Russia, which still lived according to the Julian calendar. That is February 23rd. It was in memory of this date that the famous demonstration of women took place in Petrograd on February 23, 1917, which gave impetus to the February Revolution, in honor of the beginning of which in 1921 in the RSFSR they began to celebrate Women's Day on March 8 in a new style.
