Happy International Women’s Day from JB Systems!
About 106 years ago, a woman named Clara Zetkin attended the second International Conference of Working Women in Copenhagen. It was at this meeting when Zetkin suggested the formation of International Women’s Day– a celebration that takes place on the same day each year, in every country.
