The March 8th date was chosen after Russian women demanded "bread and peace" during a war-time strike in 1917. Four days into the strike, the tsar was forced to abdicate, and the provisional government granted women the right to vote. Feeling left out men started a ‘men’s day’ in the 90s but it’s not recognized by the UN and honestly most others
In Italy International Women's Day is known as La Festa della Donna. The Mimosa flower which blooms at this time of year has become a universal symbol and is given to women on this day. Giving mimosas is not considered a romantic gesture but one of solidarity. Mimosa seems like a delicate flower, but in fact is very resistant and can grow anywhere, even in the harshest of environments. Sound familiar?
They're also bright yellow, the color of happiness and sunshine, and they're used in traditional herbal medicine for its calming and steadying properties.
It is said that Teresa Mattei, one of Italy’s first women in Italian politics was responsible for making the mimosa the symbol of Women’s Day in 1946. As a schoolgirl, Mattei was suspended from school for criticizing the anti-Semitic laws adopted by fascist Italy. At 25 years old she became the youngest to be elected to the Constituent Assembly and later became national director of the Italian Women’s Union. In France the violet flower was used to represent women’s solidarity, but Mattei decided on the Mimosa for Italy noting, “it’s a humble flower and can be found everywhere here in the countryside.”
