It is also a focal point in the women's rights movement, bringing attention to issues such as gender equality, reproductive rights, and violence and abuse against women.
Spurred on by the universal female suffrage movement that had begun in New Zealand, IWD originated from labor movements in North America and Europe during the early 20th century. The earliest version was a "Women's Day" organised by the Socialist Party of America in New York City on 28 February 1909. This inspired German delegates at the 1910 International Socialist Women's Conference to propose "a special Women's Day" be organized annually, albeit with no set date. The following year saw the first demonstrations and commemorations of International Women's Day across Europe. The rest is history, but the struggle for gender equality is ongoing.
Speaking of history, here's a poster from a recent gathering in London in 1975...

I have a sneaky feeling that I was born with a twisted and gaping open mouth! That I came from my mother's womb already upset, irritable and ill at ease. I don't know, but it feels like I felt that way from a very, very early age. I think that I went through life always searching for something that would soothe me and make me feel whole and complete. I felt rage a lot at that time, particularly towards my mother. She was a larger than life woman, a real matriarch, who ruled the home with religious verses like: “Children should be seen and not heard”/.“Honour thy father and thy mother that thy days may be long upon the land that the Lord Thy God has given thee.''

We’re as disappointed as you are, but isolation requirements mean we simply do not have enough people to keep all six libraries running safely.
On a happier note - Chartwell, St Andrews, Dinsdale, Hillcrest and Glenview Libraries will remain open. You’ll also still be able to return books to the Central Library while it’s closed through the return chute.
Thanks for bearing with us, we hope this won’t last long!
