Ladies Unite! How Broadway Is Celebrating International Women's Day
By: Nicole Rosky Mar. 08, 2019
Today, March 8, 2019, we celebrate International Women's Day- a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating gender parity.
International Women's Day (IWD) has occurred for well over a century, with the first? ?IWD gathering in 1911 supported by over a million people in Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland. Prior to this the? Socialist Party of America, United Kingdom's Suffragists and Suffragettes, and further groups campaigned for women's equality. For more information, visit: www.internationalwomensday.com
Today, IWD belongs to all groups collectively everywhere.
Below, check out inspiring messages from many of the companies of many Broadway shows and find out how they are celebrating the big day!
