8 March which is International Women's Day is also my Neng-ngu's birthday. Happy Birthday Neng-ngu.
Apparently, it was recorded that the 1st International Women's Day was observed on 28 February 1909 in the US. The idea of having an international day for women was put forth amid rapid world industrialization and economic expansion (at the turn of the 20th century) which led to protests over working conditions for women.
