NATIONAL WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH

March is National Women’s History Month. It traces its roots to March 8, 1857, when women from various New York City factories staged a protest over poor working conditions. February 28, 1909 marked the first Woman’s History Day in New York City. It commemorated the one-year anniversary of the garment workers’ strikes when 15,000 women marched through lower Manhattan. From 1909 to 1910, immigrant women, who worked in garment factories, held a strike to protest their working conditions. Most of them were teen girls who worked 12-hour days.
