They demanded a cutting of working hours as well as reasonable living wages. In 1908, on the date of March 8th, a march by women employed in trades of needles was held to oppose child labor and working conditions at sweatshops as well as to protect the rights of women to vote. The year 1910 was following the march, on March 8, was declared an annual holiday as International Women's Day.
