The 100th anniversary of International Women’s Day on 8th March 2011 is a day for celebration and reflection, informed by English Heritage’s web resource.
While the first International Women’s Day wasn’t recognised in England, it was a time when many women were actively fighting for women’s rights, particularly the right to vote. The buildings, sites and public spaces around us, as well as the memories of those which have gone, serve as reminders of these struggles and how women’s lives have changed since 1911.
