Happy International Women’s Day! 🌷
Планирую вернуть регулярный постинг и давать вам больше обучения!
Кстати, Вы знали, что на самом деле означает праздник 8 марта?🤔
Подготовила краткую предысторию. Разбираемся:
International Women's Day, also known as IWD for short, grew out of the labour movement.
The seeds of it were planted in 1908, when 15,000 women marched through New York City demanding shorter working hours, better pay and the right to vote.
/ labour movement — рабочее движение,
/ The seeds were planted — семена были посеяны (начало было положено)
The idea to make the day international came from a woman called Clara Zetkin. She suggested the idea in 1910 at an International Conference of Working Women in Copenhagen. There were 100 women there, from 17 countries, and they agreed on her suggestion unanimously.
/ to agree on a suggestion — соглашаться на предложение
The date of celebration wasn't formalised until a war-time strike in 1917 when Russian women demanded "bread and peace" - and four days into the women's strike the Tsar was forced to abdicate and the provisional government granted women the right to vote.
The date when the women's strike (in the Gregorian calendar) was 8 March - and that's when it's celebrated today.
/ forced to abdicate — вынужден отречься от престола
/ granted women the right to vote — предоставило женщинам право голоса
International Women's Day has become a date to celebrate how far women have come in society, in politics and in economics, while the political roots of the day mean strikes and protests are organised to raise awareness of continued inequality.
/ political roots — политические корни (причины)
/ strike — забастовка, бастовать
/ to raise awareness of inequality — привлечь внимание к неравенству
