Welcome to this weekend in history, March 8th and 9th, dates marked by remarkable events that have shaped our world. The most noteworthy event on March 8th is the celebration of International Women's Day, a global day recognizing the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. Although it was officially adopted by the United Nations in 1977, its roots can be traced back to the early 20th century. The first National Women's Day was celebrated in the United States on February 28, 1909, organized by the Socialist Party of America. Over the years, the day has evolved into a platform advocating for gender equality, women's rights, and social justice. In 2025, International Women's Day continues to inspire movements worldwide, reminding us of the ongoing fight for equality. Moving on to the realm of science, on March 8, 1983, President Ronald Reagan delivered his famous "Evil Empire" speech, in which he characterized the Soviet Union as an evil force in the world.
