the economic, political and social achievements of women past, present and

Women's Day is a national holiday.
Suffragettes campaigned for women's
right to vote. The word 'Suffragette' is derived from the word "suffrage"
meaning the right to vote. International Women's Day honours the work of the
Suffragettes, celebrates women's success, and reminds of inequities still to be
redressed.
The first International Women's Day event was run in 1911.
This year there are thousands of events all over the world including many in the
UK. Information about events can be found here: http://www.internationalwomensday.com/esearch.asp?country=221
