March 8th marks the international observance and celebration of International Women’s Day. This day serves as a moment in time to recognize the achievements of women from across the globe, and remember the oppression and inequalities faced by women throughout history. Below, you can read some of the highlights of the history behind International Women’s Day.

1908

During the early 20th century, women began to criticize and oppose the constant inequality and oppression they faced on a daily basis. In 1908, a total of about 15,000 women gathered in New York City with the goal of marching for better working hours, better pay, and voting rights. What these women did not realize is that their bravery would become one of many international demonstrations which would lead to incredible changes for women across the globe.

1909 and 1910

Have you ever played one of the Age games and started thinking about what villager life looked like? How did they cook? Where did they sleep? Even more importantly — what did their toilets look like? Did they have what is now considered to be proper plumbing?

Medieval toilets, also known as “garderobes”, were fairly primitive, usually comprised of a large shaft covered by a wooden seat for practicality and of course, comfort. The seat had a small opening in the shape of a circle or a keyhole where the waste would fall into the shaft. All the contents would then travel down the chute and on to the side of the walls into rivers, streams, or cesspits. As you may have guessed, disposing of waste in this manner often posed a significant health risk for medieval populations in Europe which would later be solved by the impleme...
