Although International Women's Day was only adopted by the United Nations in 1975, it was marked for the first time in New York in the early 1900s.

Over a century later, the celebration's birthplace marked International Women's Day in a suitably grand fashion, with women nationwide invited to participate in A Day Without a Woman.
