I'm not a moralist, but I believe to be far, but there are twelve months per year in some local crowd.

Mimosa, a symbol of Italian Women's Day.
Day International Women's Day Women's commonly called, is a commemoration day celebrated on 8 March each year, which is intended to commemorate the achievements of social, political and economic conditions of women, both discrimination and violence they are yet declared in many parts of the world.
Over the years, the occurrence in many countries are losing the original meaning of struggle and protest has taken on a connotation of mere trade.
Clara Zetkin
In VII Congress of the Second Socialist International, held in Stuttgart 18 to 24 August 1907, attended by 884 delegates from 25 nations - including the greatest socialist leaders of the time, like the German Rosa Luxemburg, Clara Zetkin, August Bebel, Lenin and Martov the Russians, the French Jean Jaurès - were discussed thesis on what attitude to take in the event of a European war on colonianismo and also on women's issues and claims of vote to women. On the latter topic
Congress passed a resolution in which they undertook the socialist parties to "fight vigorously for the introduction of universal suffrage of women," without "an alliance with the bourgeois feminists who claim the right of suffrage, but with socialist parties fighting for the suffrage of women. " Two days later, on August 26 to 27, was held an international conference of women socialist, in the presence of 58 delegates from 13 countries in which it was decided to create an Information Office of Socialist Women: Clara Zetkin was elected secretary and drawn from her journal, Die Gleichheit (Equality), became the organ of the International Socialist Women.
Not everyone shared the decision to rule out any alliance with the "bourgeois feminists": the United States, the Socialist Corinne Brown wrote in February 1908 in the journal The Socialist Woman, that Congress would not have had "no right to dictate to socialist women how and with whom to work for their liberation. " It was the same Corinne Brown to chair, May 3, 1908, because the absence designated official of the speaker, the conference held every Sunday from the Socialist Party of the Garrick Theater in Chicago: the conference, to which all women were invited, was called "Woman's Day, the day of the woman. In fact, there was discussion of the operational exploitation by employers against women workers in terms of low wages and hours of labor, gender discrimination and voting rights to women.
that initiative did not follow immediately, but at the end of the American Socialist Party urged all local branches' to reserve the last Sunday in February 1909 for organizing a demonstration in favor of the right to vote feminine ". So it was that the United States and the first official Women's Day was celebrated on February 28, 1909.
The Copenhagen Conference (1910)

The long strike that saw more than 20,000 seamstress in New York, which lasted from 22 November 1908 to 15 February 1909, was seen in Woman's Day held in New York the next February 27, as an event that joined the union claims to political recognition of the right to vote for women. The American Socialist delegation, strong affirmation of the now-established Women's Day event, so they decided to propose to the second International Conference of Socialist Women, held in Folkets Hus (House of the People) in Copenhagen, 26 to 27 August 1910 - two days before the opening of the eighth Congress of the Socialist International - to establish a common day dedicated to the vindication of the rights of women.
the agendas of the session and in resolutions passed in that conference does not appear that the present 100 women representing 17 countries have set up a day dedicated to women's rights: it is, however, in Die Gleichheit, written by Clara Zetkin, a motion for the establishment of the International Women's Day was "was taken as a resolution." While the U.S. continues to be held the last Sunday of February, the day in Europe the woman was held for the first time March 19, 1911 at the option of the Secretariat of the International Socialist Women. According to the testimony of Aleksandra Kollontaj, that date was chosen because in Germany, "March 19, 1848 during the revolution, the King of Prussia for the first time to recognize the power of a people in arms and surrender before the threat of a proletarian revolt. Among the many promises made that and then forgot, included the recognition of the right of women to vote. "
But it was not celebrated in all countries was held in Russia for the first time in St. Petersburg in 1913, March 3, at the initiative of the Bolshevik Party, with a rally in the stock market Kalašaikovskij, and was interrupted by the Tsarist police that operated numerous arrests. In Germany it was held for the first time on 8 March 1914, a day of "Red Week" proclaimed by the German socialists of unrest, while in France held a conference organized by the Socialist Party in Paris, March 9, 1914 . The March 8, 1917
The celebrations were interrupted by World War I in all the belligerent countries, while in St. Petersburg, 8 March 1917 - February 23 according to the Julian calendar then in force in Russia - women's Capital led a large demonstration which demanded an end to war: the sluggish reaction of the Cossacks sent to quell the protest, encouraged subsequent protests that led to the collapse of Tsarism, now completely discredited and even without the support of the armed forces, so that the 8 March 1917 has remained in history to indicate the beginning of the "Russian Revolution of February." For this reason, and to fix a common day for all countries, 14 June 1921 the Second international conference of Communist women, held in Moscow a week before the opening of the Third Congress of the Communist set at 8 March, the "International Day of the worker."
In Italy, the International Women's Day was held for the first time only in 1922, an initiative of the Communist Party of Italy, who wanted to celebrate March 12 as the first Sunday after the now fateful March 8. In those days it was founded the biweekly magazine Company, which reported on 1 March 1925 an article by Lenin, who died the previous year, recalled that on 8 March as International Women's Day, which had taken an active part in social struggles and in the overthrow of Tsarism. The strong political connotation
Women's Day, the political isolation of Russia and the communist movement and, finally, the events of World War II, contributed to the loss of historical memory of the real origins of the event. So after the war began to circulate fanciful versions according to which the March 8 would remember the deaths of hundreds of workers in the fire in a non-existent Cotton shirt factory in New York, which is likely to be confused with a real tragedy that occurred March 25, 1911, the Triangle factory fire in which killed 146 workers, mostly Italian immigrants, other versions quoted police repression of a textile workers union alleged event took place in New York in 1857, and others related to strikes or accidents that occurred in Chicago, Boston or New York.

By the end of the war, March 8, 1946 was celebrated throughout Italy and saw the first appearance of its symbol, the mimosa, which blooms in its first days of March, according to an idea of \u200b\u200bTeresa Noce, [2] Rita Montagnana and Teresa Mattei [3].
In the fifties, the years of the Cold War and the Ministry Scelba, distribute On that day the mimosa or disseminate "We Women", the monthly hearing, it became an act "likely to disturb public order", while keeping a banquet in the street became "illegal occupation of public land." [4] In the 1959 parliamentary Pina Palumbo, Giuliana Nenni Luisa Balboni and presented a bill to make International Women's Day a national holiday, but the initiative fell on deaf ears.
The political climate improved in the following decade, but the applicant still did not get the public hearing until, with the seventies, there appeared a new phenomenon in Italy: the feminist movement.
