The earliest celebration of International Women's Day was in 1909. That year, the Socialist Party of America dedicated the day to honoring the 1908 garment workers' strike in New York. Through the years, the day has been spent showing the progress that women have made as well as the progress women (and men) around the world are working towards.
This year, the organizers of the January 21 Women's March organized A Day Without Women to show the impact women have. Hundreds of women have gone on strike causing schools, businesses, and publications to go dark for the day.
In support of International Women's Day we've rounded up some of the most poignant quotes from some of the most well-known supporters of the gender equality movement:
