Is International Women's Day the same as Goddess Day?

International Women's Day is the same as Goddess Day, which is celebrated on March 8th every year.
Goddess Day originated from modern merchants, who created a new term to please female customers. In addition to Goddess Day, there is also the concept of "Queen's Day".
In China, the term "women" usually refers to older women, so many young women have a negative reaction to it, leading to the emergence of terms such as "Goddess Day" and "Queen's Day".
In addition to referring to International Women's Day as "Goddess Day", March 7th, the day before March 8th, has also been set as "Girls' Day", a holiday for girls who have not yet graduated, also known as Girls' Day.

Origin of International Women's Day

International Women's Day originated from a series of women's movement events in the early 20th century, including: In 1909, the Socialist Party of the United States designated February 28th as National Women's Day; In 1910, at the Copenhagen conference of the Second International, Clara Zetkin led over 100 women representatives from 17 countries to plan the establishment of International Women's Day, but no specific date was set; On March 19, 1911, more than one million women gathered in Austria, Denmark, Germany, and Switzerland to celebrate International Women's Day; In the last Sunday of February 1913, Russian women celebrated their International Women's Day by holding demonstrations against World War I; On March 8, 1914, women in European countries held anti-war demonstrations; On March 8, 1917 (February 23 in the old Russian calendar), to commemorate nearly 2 million Russian women who died in World War I, Russian women went on strike, marking the beginning of the "February Revolution." Four days later, the Tsar was forced to abdicate, and the provisional government announced that women would be granted the right to vote.
It can be said that these feminist movements in Europe and America in the early 20th century jointly led to the birth of "March 8" International Women's Day, rather than the assumption that "International Women's Day" is merely a legacy of the international communist movement.
