On March 8, 1909, working women in Chicago and women workers in the national textile and garment industry held a strike March, demanding higher wages, an eight-hour working system and voting rights. This is the first time that women have been shown in history. This initiative has received enthusiastic support and response from working women in the United States and other countries.

The initiative was unanimously adopted. Starting from 19 1 1, working women commemorate their festivals on March 8 every year.
