| description | This article analyzes the origin and objectives of the celebration of International Women's Day based on the study of North American and German socialists framed in the Socialist Women's International. The work focuses on discussions about the “woman question” and the fight for universal women's suffrage within the socialist parties of Germany and the United States, in particular about the relationship that socialists had to maintain with bourgeois feminist movements. Through qualitative documentary analysis, we will try to demonstrate that International Women's Day was an initiative of the Socialist Women's International, with great prominence of the German and American sections, as part of the fight for universal women's suffrage and to obtain better working and living conditions for workers. The commemoration of this date was articulated as an instance of agitation and propaganda of long-term political work that socialist women had been developing among working women since the end of the 19th century within the framework of the Second International. |

Este artículo analiza el origen y los objetivos de la celebración del Día Internacional de la Mujer a partir del estudio de las socialistas norteamericanas y alemanas enmarcadas en la Internacional Socialista de Mujeres. El trabajo se enfoca en las discusiones sobre la “cuestión de la mujer” y la lucha por el sufragio femenino universal al interior de los partidos socialistas de Alemania y de los Estados Unidos; en particular, sobre la relación que debían sostener las socialistas con los movimientos feministas burgueses. A través del análisis cualitativo documental, intentaremos demostrar que el Día Internacional de la Mujer fue una iniciativa de la Internacional Socialista de Mujeres, con gran protagonismo de las secciones alemana y estadounidense, como parte de la lucha por el sufragio femenino universal y para la obtención de mejores condiciones de trabajo y de vida para las trabajadoras. La celebración de esta fecha se articuló como una instancia de agitación y propaganda de un trabajo político de largo aliento que las mujeres socialistas desarrollaban entre las trabajadoras, desde finales del siglo XIX, en el marco de la Segunda Internacional. Este artigo analisa a origem e os objetivos políticos da celebração do Dia Internacional da Mulher a partir do estudo das socialistas norte-americanas e alemãs enquadradas na Internacional Socialista de Mulheres. O trabalho enfoca as discussões sobre a "questão feminina" e a luta pelo sufrágio universal feminino nos partidos socialistas da Alemanha e dos Estados Unidos; em particular na relação política que os socialistas tiveram que manter com os movimentos feministas burgueses. Procuraremos demonstrar que o Dia Internacional da Mulher foi uma iniciativa da Internacional Socialista da Mulher no âmbito da luta pelo sufrágio universal feminino e pela obtenção de melhores condições de trabalho e de vida para as mulheres trabalhadoras. A celebração desta data articulava-se como instância de agitação e propaganda de um trabalho político de longa data que as mulheres socialistas desenvolviam entre as trabalhadoras desde finais do século XIX no quadro da Segunda Internacional.
