		Increasingly, International Women's Day is a time to reflect on progress made, to call for change and to celebrate acts of courage and determination by ordinary women who have played an extraordinary role in the history of women's rights.

	Frontline 19 - International Womens Day — Celebrating Struggle
		Although women’s wages were, then as now, lower than men’s and they could thus only have benefited from organizing with their fellow workers, fewer women tended to get involved in Mayday demonstrations due to both concern over potential violence from the police and the gendered nature of trade union organization.
		She quickly found herself debating the way forward with both other socialists and the women’s suffrage movement, much of the debate being around a recognizable theme: whether, in the fight for the emancipation of the working class as a whole, it was necessary in the short term to sacrifice some aspects and prioritise others.
		It was used as a day to highlight continuing inequalities and injustices and rise against them, and on that day in 1917 women voiced the connection between “bread and butter” issues (literally) and international issues.

	Women's Day
		In St Petersburg this day was marked by a call for a campaign against women workers' lack of economic and political rights, for the unity of the working class, and for the awakening of self-consciousness among women workers.
		However, as working-class women entered the ranks of those who sell their labour, forced onto the labour market by need, by the fact that husband or father is unemployed, working men became aware that to leave women behind in the ranks of the 'non-class-conscious' was to damage their cause and hold it back.
		Women's Days and the slow, meticulous work undertaken to arouse the self-consciousness of the woman worker are serving the cause not of the division but of the unification of the working class.
