英语作为一个世界通用的语言，我们难免有时候会需要用到英语去跟别人介绍一个东西或者节日。如果这个时候，我们没有一个很好口语和见识，就会面临出丑的现象。那么，你们知道妇女节的由来用英语怎么说吗？现在就一起来了解一下吧。


　　三八妇女节：Women＇s Day March eighth

The first International Women’s Day
　　In 1869 British MP John Stuart Mill was the first person in Parliament to call for women’s right to vote. On 19 September 1893 New Zealand became the first country in the world to give women the right to vote. Women in other countries did not enjoy this equality and campaigned for justice for many years.
　　In 1910 a second International Conference of Working Women was held in Copenhagen. A woman named Clara Zetkin (Leader of the ‘Women’s Office’ for the Social Democratic Party in Germany) tabled the idea of an International Women’s Day. She proposed that every year in every country there should be a celebration on the same day - a Women’s Day - to press for their demands. The conference of over 100 women from 17 countries, representing unions, socialist parties, working women’s clubs, and including the first three women elected to the Finnish parliament, greeted Zetkin’s suggestion with unanimous approval and thus International Women’s Day was the result.

　　小结：妇女节虽然不是一个法定节假日，但是每当妇女节的时候，很多公司企业都会自发给本公司的女性员工发放福利，这也不失是一个很好的措施。
