Sorry, but I'm still disagreeing with you, but only in a pedantic and argumentative way, of course!

The US decided that they should hold a National Women's Day. The date was never agreed and was not International.

In 1911, following an International conference, a date - March 8th was set as International Women's Day and it was first upheld by Germany, Austria and some other European countries. Therefore, International Women's Day did not start in America - splitting hairs I know but very important with regards to the timeline.
