Origins and the celebration of International Women's Day, 1910-1945
CLARIFICATION OF THE MYTH OF MARCH 8

by ANA ISABEL GONZALEZ ALVAREZ

The birth of the International Women's Day, contrary to what was believed in all forums, is not in a single event on which there was not even consensus among American and English historians, but has to fit into a historical and ideological context much broader.

English historiography in the commemoration of March 8 is associated, erroneously, the fire occurred on said day of 1908 at a textile factory in New York, caused by the employer to the workers on strike and locked in the building.

In American historiography is linked, erroneously also the origin of the March 8 for a demonstration of textile workers in New York City that pivotal question better working conditions. HISTORIOGRAPHY

WRONG "International Day of Working Women:
day is considered a feminist struggle worldwide to commemorate the day March 8, 1908 in which workers at a textile factory in New York called Cotton went on strike in protest intolerable working conditions. The owner did not accept the strike and the workers then occupied the factory. The owner then closed the doors and set fire scorched the 129 workers dying was inside (...)"

"(...) the history of events leading the designation of March 8 as International Women's Day. On that day in 1908, the factory workers of New York Cotton went on strike and occupied the factory. The owner decided to close the doors, burning down the factory and the dying

HISTORIOGRAPHY WRONG" On March 8, recounted to my students in Women's Studies in the history of International Women's Day. It's a story that I had repeated several times and therefore knew well. A spontaneous demonstration organized by the textile workers of New York City, protesting low wages, working hours for twelve hours, and increasing workloads, was dispersed by police, in a rather brutal. Many girls were arrested, some were trampled by the crowd. Fifty years later, the anniversary of that event, was established in his memory the International Day of Women "Temma Kaplan," On the Socialist Origins of International Women's Day "Feminist Studies 11, No. 1 (Spring 1985), 163

references about the origin of the celebration March 8 based on the factory fire in New York or the manifestation of the workers are false because the handling of wanting to silence the true origin of this holiday.
In relation to fire, just look at the calendar to shake up this theory. On March 8, 1908 was Sunday, one day a little odd to strike without prejudice to the employer.
Yes there was a fire factory in the "Triangle Shirtwaist Company" which killed many women, mostly immigrant girls between 17 and 24 years, but it was the March 8, 1908 but on March 25, 1911, two days before the first celebration of International Women's Day.
In relation to the demonstration, although this event took place, was neither the March 8, 1857, or the March 8, 1908 as is commonly referenced. It was the September 27, 1909 when the / the employee did as the Textile strike thirteen weeks (until February 15, 1910) to demand better work conditions, but this event is not the origin of the celebration of 8 March.

The historians Liliane Kandel and François Picq say that the myth that places the event in 1857 was created in 1955 to eliminate the communist character who later acquire the International Women's Day.

To uncover the true origins of the celebration of March 8 as International Women's Day "and not" International Day of Working Women, "we have based on research by: ANA ISABEL GONZALEZ ALVAREZ (1999) The origins and the celebration of International Women's Day, 1910-1945. KRK-Editions: Isabel Alvarez Oviedo.Ana PhD program "Women's Studies at the University of Oviedo, made during 1997-1999 an investigation into the origin of the March 8 primary sources referring to Harvard University. Defended its investigation in June 1999.

American historian Mari Jo Buhle in his book "Women and American Socialism 1870-1920" examined the fire at the Triangle Shirtwaist Company, an event of great significance in contemporary U.S. history, but not give rise to International Women's Day, but causes the death of the previous year workers in 1910 had staged the first strike carried out exclusively by women to demand improvements in their working situation.
The decision to make this celebration in an international festival was provided by Clara Zetkin (1857-1933), leader of the German socialist women's movement. But the proposal submitted by Clara Zetkin at the Second International Conference of Socialist Women held in Copenhagen on 26 and 27 August 1910, for organizing the celebration of International Women's Day was not entirely original. He had a background in which inspire, Women's Day that U.S. socialists had held since 1908, whose purpose was the vindication of voting rights for the American Socialist Party mujeres.El designated the last Sunday of February, on 28, 1909 such as Woman's Day, to demand the right women's suffrage. Until 1920 there was passed the Nineteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution by which granted women the right to vote.
The International Women's Day, which undoubtedly has its origins in the international movement of socialist women in the late nineteenth century, was intended solely to promote the struggle for voting rights for women, without any restriction on the level of wealth, property or education.

The first celebration of International Women's Day took place on March 19, 1911, and was followed in Austria, Germany, Denmark and Sweden.
In the early years, International Women's Day was celebrated on different dates in different countries. But in 1914, the German proposal, the International Women's Day was first celebrated on March 8 in Germany, Sweden and Russia. The only author whom it was adventure to give an explanation for the choice of date is Renée Côté, who only points as possible by the fact that March was full of revolutionary content, but without giving any solid argument about why that day in particular and not another.

also the Russian Revolution of 1917 had a great influence at all levels in the International Women's Day. Although the March 8 have been held since the Russian 1914, in 1917 Russian women rioted in the absence of food, beginning the revolutionary process that would end in October of that year. The events of March 8, 1917 (February 23 on your calendar) are important not only because it led to the revolution and that were headed by women, but because, as everything seems to indicate, these events were what made the International Women's Day was passed to hold without further changes to the present on 8 March.

United Nations on the occasion of the celebration in 1975 of the International Year of Women, offered a version of the events that had led to the birth of International Women's Day. According to Ana Isabel Alvarez, is very interesting to note that in this short report is an absolute silence events experienced in Russia in 1917 were precisely those who would make March 8, the day chosen to celebrate International Women's Day: "The International Women's Day was first proposed by Clara Zetkin, a representative of the Conference of Socialist Women in Copenhagen in 1910.

The proposal came at the beginning of a period of great social and political transformation in the world . Europe was on the brink of World War I, the colonial empires of Asia and Africa were suffering the first stirrings of the nationalist revolt, and in North America for women's suffrage movement was questioning some of the assumptions of human relationships. Clara Zetkin's call to women to join their struggle for equal rights with the struggle to preserve world peace came upon a sensitive hearts.

When celebrated the first International Women's Day in 1911, more than one million women publicly participated in it.
Besides the right to vote and hold public office, demanded the right to work, vocational education and an end to discrimination at work ".
Declared by the UN General Assembly.
