March 8: The Holiday Loved by Everyone… Except Men, Florists, and Couriers
March 8 is the day when flowers become more expensive than gold, delivery services work overtime, and men suddenly remember the existence of chocolate aisles. But where did this holiday originate, and why is it celebrated worldwide?

March 8th is not just about flowers and compliments. It’s a celebration of your strength, beauty, achievements, and the right to choose your own path. You inspire, create, conquer new heights, and fill this world with harmony.

History and Traditions of March 8th: A Revolution, Not Just Flowers
Today, March 8th is a day of celebration, but it began as a fight for women’s rights. In 1908, thousands of women in New York took to the streets demanding equal working conditions and voting rights. In 1910, at the Copenhagen Conference, Clara Zetkin proposed celebrating International Women's Day annually.
In different countries, the traditions of March 8th vary:
- In Italy, yellow mimosa flowers are given as a symbol of respect and strength.
- In Germany and Austria, it’s a working day but celebrated widely.
- In the USA, the holiday is not as prominent but is growing in popularity every year.
- In China, women are granted a half-day off, while in Japan, colleagues exchange greetings at work.
Though the meaning of this day has evolved, one thing remains unchanged: March 8th is a day to share joy.
