March 8 marks International Women's Day, and DAAD New York will be joining others around the world in recognizing the historic contribution of women as well as the issues they continue to face.

German women were among the earliest adopters of the holiday, when they joined over a million demonstrators in Austria, Denmark, and Switzerland in demanding suffrage for women on March 19, 1910. Decades later, the United Nations proclaimed International Women's Day an official UN holiday in 1977.

Herta Müller is a Romanian-born German author whose works have been highly influential both in Germany and abroad since the 1980s. In 2009, Müller received the Nobel Prize for Literature for her work as an author "who, with the concentration of poetry and frankness of prose, depicts the landscape of the dispossessed." That same year, her novel, The Hunger Angel (Atemschaukel) was nominated for the German Book Prize and won the Franz Werfel Human Rights Award.
