8th of March is commemorated globally as International Women’s Day, a day devoted to honoring the cultural, economic, social, and political achievements of women worldwide. Let me give you a brief history of International Women’s Day before proceeding to the most exciting part of the article, i.e., coloring pages.

International Women’s Day began as National Women’s Day in the United States in February 1909. Just the following year, Clara Zetkin, a women’s rights activist asked for an International Women’s Day, so that their fight for equal rights could spread worldwide. In March 1911, the first International Women’s Day was marked and the day, 8th March was fixed in 1913. The United States celebrates the entire month of March as Women’s History Month, which again was a thoughtful initiative by Barack Obama.
