For the first time in history, working women invade the streets of a major metropolis and begin a grandiose demonstration whose noise will reach the whole world. This happened in New York, on March 8, 1857. The reason for their action was blatant discrimination in wages and working hours compared to those of their male colleagues.
The event will create a precedent which will have a long series of social, economic, cultural and even civilizational demands. Women, first in the Western world, are demanding their fundamental right to an active life enjoying the same consideration given to men. A true emancipation movement has been born and will continue to gain momentum and reach all social strata.
The rest of the world, particularly the occupied countries, will not be spared. Multiple actions will break out here and there. The impact is all the more important as these women fight for their emancipation but also, and above all, for liberation. At the very heart of the nationalist uprising, the women's movement in the Third World marked a decisive turning point in the history of the recovery of independence.
The Algerian woman, always equal to herself, will be no exception to the rule. On the contrary, she will be at the forefront of the fight for freedom and dignity and will serve as an example for her fighting sisters. His unreserved commitment and his total sacrifice will forever mark the history of his country as well as the memories of his contemporaries and those of generations to come.
