Today is International Women’s Day.

Today also marks the show of solidarity for women’s rights by way of a strike: A Day Without A Woman. Women around the world are refusing to take part in both paid and unpaid labor in the name of justice for all gender-oppressed people of all ethnicities, religions, and sexualities. In doing so, they join the ranks of women who have led protests, strikes, and movements throughout history.

Let’s celebrate a few of those women:

Dorothy Height (March 24, 1912—April 20, 2010)

Dorothy Height, former President of the National Council of Negro Women, was one of the organizers of the 1963 March on Washington. She stood near Martin Luther King Jr. during his “I Have a Dream” speech, but did not publicly speak that day. In fact, no woman publicly spoke. “Even on the morning of the march there had been appeals to include a woman speaker,” wrote Height in her memoir. “They were happy to include women in the human family, but there was no question as to who headed the household!“ In 1971, she helped found the National Women’s Political Caucus with other notable feminists like Gloria Steinem, Betty Friedan, and Shirley Chisholm.

Marsha P. Johnson (August 24, 1945—July 6, 1992)

Marsha P. Johnson spent her entire adult life fighting for the rights of LGBTQ people. She’s credited for being one of the first to fight back in the Stonewall Riots. She started the Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries with her friend Sylvia Rivera. Together they provided food, shelter, and care to young drag queens, trans women, and homeless children in need in the Lower East Side of NYC. She fought for what was right, and knew how to live life with exuberance and humor. When asked by a judge what what the “P” stood for, she replied “Pay It No Mind.”

Alice Paul (January 11, 1885—July 9, 1977)

Alice Paul was one of the leading forces behind the Nineteenth Amendment, which affirmed and enshrined a woman’s right to vote. She rallied 8,000 people to march in the 1913 Woman Suffrage Procession in Washington—no small task in a world before the internet—with an estimated half million people watching the historic moment from the sidelines.

The name Winchester is synonymous with guns the world over, known to many as ‘The Gun That Won The West’.  But behind the name is the tale of a troubled, grieving woman who to this day remains shrouded in mystery.  Following the death of her baby daughter and husband in the late 1800s, Sarah Winchester, like many of the bereaved of her era, visited a medium seeking some kind of solace. The medium, channeling her late husband, instructed Sarah to move West, and build a home for her and the spirits of the many people whose deaths had been caused by the Winchester rifle. As long as it was being built, the spirits would be appeased, and Sarah would be safe from harm. The result is the Winchester Mystery House.  

Funded by her hefty inheritance, Sarah purchased a simple farmhouse in San Jose. Construction continued almost around the clock, until the house became a towering 7 storey mansion consisting of roughly 160 rooms (1 of which was discovered as recently as this year).  With no architect on board, the house contains various design anomalies, such as windows overlooking other rooms, staircases and doors that lead to nothing, secret passageways, and a Séance Room, which Sarah was said to visit nightly.  Construction finally ended with her death in 1922, and still stands today as a tourist attraction.
