Monday, March 8, is International Women's Day, a global celebration of the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating gender parity.

The day has been recognized since 1977 by the United Nations, and dates to 1917, when women textile workers went on strike in Russia. Their actions are considered the beginning of the Russian Revolution that ended the country's czarist regime.

This year, the theme of the celebration is "choose to challenge." As the IWD organizers note, "We can all choose to challenge and call out gender bias and inequality." To help call it out, Mainebiz wants to know your opinion on the problem.
