| Sylvia Pankhurst |
Today the worlds is celebrating the International Women's Day.
It is a socialist celebration as it was basically created by the Socialist Party of America in 1908.
Funny, March 8 has no special significance at all as it is not related to any special event whatsoever.
In 1914, there was an event that took place on March 8 in London related to a march in support of women's suffrage: communist Sylvia Pankhurst was arrested, but this is not recorded as a reason for celebrating this day n March 8.
She hated capitalism, had a son at the age of 45, never took her husband's name and eventually moved to Ethiopia where she died in 1960.
