Thank you Marvel for taking the huge risk of a female lead after 20 movies and having the BALLS to put it on that date. Hopefully Time Magazine puts Captain Marvel on the cover like they did when you broke new ground with Black Panther.
International Women's Day (IWD) is celebrated on March 8 every year.[3] It is a focal point in the movement for women's rights.
After the Socialist Party of America organised a Women's Day on February 28, 1909 in New York, the 1910 International Socialist Woman's Conference suggested a Women's Day be held annually. After women gained suffrage in Soviet Russia in 1917, March 8 became a national holiday there. The day was then predominantly celebrated by the socialist movement and communist countries until it was adopted in 1975 by the United Nations.
Today, International Women's Day is a public holiday in some countries and largely ignored elsewhere.[4] In some places, it is a day of protest; in others, it is a day that celebrates womanhood.
