Book recommendations for International Women's Day
Millions of women around the world are fighting for more rights, equality and against discrimination, and not just on March 8, International Women's Day. For the first time in 1911, over a million women in Europe and the USA demonstrated for women's suffrage, among other things. Since then, International Women's Day has taken place every year and has drawn attention to various issues, such as violence against women, equal opportunities and the compatibility of work and family life.
