We commemorate International Women's Day on March 8 to remember its anti-imperialist roots and the revolutionary struggle of working-class women against exploitation. The day was born from the militancy of New York garment workers, who rose against sweatshop conditions, child labor, and political disenfranchisement. These fights were inseparable from the broader socialist and anti-colonial movements of the early twentieth century, as these women understood that the exploitation of their labor and bodies was directly tied to the imperialist domination of their nations. Their fight for “Bread and Roses”—for better pay, dignified living and working conditions, and gender equality—was therefore a fight against a global system. This legacy demands we view the struggles of women today through the same lens.
