[edit] International Women's Day
the article states that:
- 1911 - International Women's Day is celebrated for the first time.
ive read here (Arabic) that the celebration of the womens day in 1911 happened on the 19th of march, and that in 1977 8th of march was chosen by the UN general assembly to celebrate the International Women's Day! any reference to the date in the current article?
