A few days later, the Socialist Women's Information Office was founded.

In May 1908, the president of the Office, Corinne Brown, presided over the Sunday socialist conference in Chicago - due to the unavailability of the usual speaker - a conference to which all women had been invited. From there it began to talk about a Women's Day.

The following year, in the event that the American Socialist Party organized on February 28, 1909 in support of the right of women to vote, there was an intense activation on the issue of social claims and many decided to strike and take to the streets: they asked for a wage increase and improvement of working conditions. Thus was born the first Women's Day in America.]]> 2019-03-11 11:53:54 UTC https://padlet.com/corradoviviana/xuh2jigvqzs3/wish/339893686 corradoviviana https://padlet.com/corradoviviana/xuh2jigvqzs3/wish/339893776 International Women's Day is celebrated every year on March 8 to commemorate both the social, economic and political achievements, and the discrimination and violence that women have been and still are the subject of in almost all parts of the world. It is associated with the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women established on December 17, 1999 and which falls every year on November 25th.]]> 2019-03-11 11:54:06 UTC https://padlet.com/corradoviviana/xuh2jigvqzs3/wish/339893776 corradoviviana https://padlet.com/corradoviviana/xuh2jigvqzs3/wish/339894087 In Italy the first International Women's Day was celebrated on March 12, 1922, but we must wait for 1946 for the appearance of its symbol: the mimosa.
Italy was preparing to celebrate the first 8 March of the Second World War and for the organization of the event the Union Donne Italiane, a women's association born in 1944 and still engaged in activities for the defense and promotion of women's rights, was brought forward. .
The UDI, in particular, was looking for a flower that could mark the day. The idea of ​​mimosa was proposed by Teresa Noce, Rita Montagnana and Teresa Mattei.
The flower had all the ideal characteristics to become the symbol of the Women's Day: its flowering takes place just in the first days of March and its costs have always been quite contained. A poetic image, perfect to accompany with beautiful phrases of greetings for the women's party.
Yellow, besides expressing vitality, strength and joy, is the color that represents the transition from death to life and becomes a metaphor for remembering women who have fought for sexual equality.]]> 2019-03-11 11:55:01 UTC https://padlet.com/corradoviviana/xuh2jigvqzs3/wish/339894087 corradoviviana https://padlet.com/corradoviviana/xuh2jigvqzs3/wish/339895291 2019-03-11 11:58:17 UTC https://padlet.com/corradoviviana/xuh2jigvqzs3/wish/339895291 corradoviviana https://padlet.com/corradoviviana/xuh2jigvqzs3/wish/339895563 2019-03-11 11:59:08 UTC https://padlet.com/corradoviviana/xuh2jigvqzs3/wish/339895563 corradoviviana https://padlet.com/corradoviviana/xuh2jigvqzs3/wish/339896700 2019-03-11 12:02:17 UTC https://padlet.com/corradoviviana/xuh2jigvqzs3/wish/339896700
