Building a Wider
Horizon With Labour
International Working Women's day marks the brave struggles of women workers, who more than a century ago fought for the right to vote under the socialist banner. It marked the rise of a political struggle that demanded equal rights for all, irrespective of race and class in contrast to suffragettes who restricted themselves to voting rights for white propertied women. Women recognised and articulated the need for the socialist movement to understand the unique nature of issues facing women workers while at the same time reiterating their commitment to fight shoulder to shoulder alongside their male comrades for a working class revolution.
