From the pages of history The first women’s demon+ stration was held on March 8, 1857 in New York, when women in the garment and tex- tile industry staged a In Asia, women from Japan celebrated the international spirit of the women’s move- ment by organizing the “Party of the 8th of March” in 1923 In 1955, five-hundred-thousand women in Indonesia celebrated the day by demonstrating their rights as women. Until the late 1960's, Inter- national Women's Day was_cel- ebrated primarily in socialist countries. As the women’s lib- eration movement expanded in North America, events were also planned on this continent. What began in New York and in isolated incidents in Europe and Asia has encom- passed the globe. International Women’s Day has helped unite “I wag a very studious young woman who studied a lot, hard- ly missed a day of school and never, ever spoke out against my parents, who were very strict.” It wasn't until Nilsen moved to Vancouver at the age of 23 that she become involved in the women’s movement, which was gaining momentum in Canada. “I became involved through my training in becoming a tra- ditional midwife. I was very much interested in women's health and resources.” Nilsen believed then, as she believes today, that women must have control over their own bodies, especially involv- ing freedom of choice, birth demonstration protesting low wages, the 12- hour work day and = general working condi- tions. Women demanded equal pay for all working women and the ‘They are not planning to go from their father's house to their husband's. They have ideals and oals, and they have every opportunity to reach them.' —BONNIE NILSEN Castleview Care Centre, HEU control and childbirth expe- riences. Nilsen spent much of her time speaking to women about these controls and admits that over the past 20 years, things right to vote Police dispersed the march and arrested some of the women. Three years later, in 1860, these women formed a union to reiterate their demands In September, 1909, a strike which grew to include 30,000 women garment workers, mem- bers of the International Ladies Garment Workers Union, began at the Triangle Shirtwaist Com- pany in New York. Previous strikes had attracted up to 2,000 women, but this strike was the fore- runner of a gen- women, both to each other in their struggle for women's rights, and to the peoples of their countries, in the struggle for social progress and world peace In Castlegar... Although there have been no formal plans made to celebrate have changed for the better. “We have finally seen the issue of violence against women recognized after years and years of screaming about it.” She says there are generally more services for women who are in need of assistance and a greater recognition of women's necds in general Today, a much more outspo- ken Nilsen is kept busy with her work as well as raising two daughters of her own, aged eral Strike which nearly collapsed the garment indus- try discussed differently—rape is no longer The general strike began in November, 1909, when a young woman named Clara ‘Services for and contentious issues regarding women are“ 12 and 16. She have incr considered a joke.’ — PATRICIA LAKES Administrator, Community Services d by leaps says she can ly see how her efforts and the efforts of other women through the years have changed soci- ety’s beliefs— so much so that Lemlich offered a resolution for a general strike at a meeting of all shirtwaist makers in New York city. It was adopted unanimously. In the first month of the strike, 723 women were arrested and 19 were sent to the workhouse The strike continued until February 1910, and was settled when management agreed to improve working conditions. However, the International Ladies’ Garment Workers Union was not granted formal recognition. One year later, at the Trian- gle Shirtwaist Company, employers continued to ignore basic health and safety regula- tions. A fire destroyed the top three floors of a ten story building in which the company was located, killing 175 women, men and children Charges were laid after an investigation, but the Triangle Shirtwaist Company was found not negligent. In Europe, women entered trade unions in growing num- bers, particularly in Germany. In 1907 there were 120,000 women in trade unions and an additional 10,000 women in 94 educational societies. In Rus- sia, tens of thousands of women workers participated in strikes against Tsarism from 1905 to 1907. On March 8, 1917, women textile workers in Petrograd stormed the streets, instigating food riots and polit- ical strikes. These demonstra- tions helped to launch the Russian revolution later in 1917 In 1910, the German labour leader Clara Zetkin proposed that March 8 be proclaimed International Women’s Day in memory of those women who had struggled for equality. In 1921, the International Women's Secretariat of the Communist International, chaired by Zetkin, resolved to celebrate International Women’s day henceforth on March 8 International Women’s Day in Castlegar, there are women here who have been involved, through individual ways, in the women’s movement in Canada. Bonnie Nilsen, who moved to the Kootenays 10 years ago, her daughters are growing up much different- ly than she did. “They are two young women who can definitely think for themselves. They are not plan- ning to go from their father’s house to their husband's. They PATRICIA LAKES is now the Shop Stewart and Trustee at Castleview Care Centre for the Hospital Employees Union. She is also a trustee on the hospital board and chairperson of the recently established Castlegar Women’s Association Born and raised into a highly religious family in New York City, Nilsen says she was always aware of the feminist issues of the day, though as a youth and young woman she was not involved in any demonstrations or activities Day—stil Striving to make a difference involved in the ‘movement’ have ideals and goals, and they have every opportunity to reach them,” she finished. Patricia Lakes, the adminis- trator for Community Services in Castlegar, was also aware of women’s issues while attending high school, although vaguely. The household in which Lakes grew up was one in which politics was often dis- cussed around the supper table, though it wasn't until she attended University of British ered a joke.” Lakes reiterates the fact that more improvement is needed, and she keeps this in mind while developing social pro- grams for people in Castlegar who require them. “To know that the women's movement is not over yet and to talk about it is something in itself. Now that women: are moving into positions of power they should use their resources to help other women. We -——— BONNIE NILSEN Columbia that she became aware of issues that would affect her directly. One such event Lakes recalled involved the UBC, engineers and their annual pub- lication of “The Red Ragg”, which contained crude depic- tions and jokes about women as well as jokes against minori- ties and gays. “It was the kind of publica- tion which made women furi- ous, but was considered by the university to be a joke.” Lakes began to take action She wrote letters to the Dean of Women and other officials on campus. With her efforts and those of other women attending the University, new campus guidelines were bom. “I grew up knowing how to discuss politics, so I went to University knowing how to speak out publicly even when it came to issues involving basic fairness,” she said. Lakes believes that massive, changes have taken place over the past two decades, such as the position of women in the workplace, women in trades and, equal pay for equal work (which is still needing improvement). “Services for women have increased by leaps and con- tentious issues regarding women are discussed different- ly—rape is no longer consid- Silver Rattle Antiques 301-11 Ave. Castlegar, (in Tulips Building) 365-5191 Cabinets For All Tastes & Budgets ‘where value and service is still important and can be expected’ Free in-home consultation and estimate service 365-3110 2245 - 6th Ave., Castlegar, B.C B.C should all be motivated to make the world a better place.” Sell it quick - in the Sun classifieds Call 365-7848 Do you know of any sporting . event we're | not covering? .
