Equality | The financial wellbeing of women at work

You might not have heard of Clara Zetkin but she was the first person who first championed the idea of International Women’s Day.

In 1909 Zetkin, a socialist and an advocate for women’s rights campaigned for a day to honour working women around the world. At that time, and for many years after, it was normal to believe that a woman’s place was supposed to be at home.
