In the dictionary, it refers to an adult woman, and in reality it refers to a woman with children.
The meaning of the word "woman" in the Standard Dictionary of Modern Chinese is only "adult woman" and has no other special meaning. A married woman is called a "woman." In the official dictionary, the definition of woman is a general term for an adult woman. In judicial interpretations, women over the age of 14 are referred to as women. In real life, a woman usually refers to a woman who has children.
In other words, as long as an adult woman is at least eighteen years old, she belongs to the category of "woman", not specifically a married woman! It belongs to all women over the age of 18. Women's Day is a festival for all adult women over the age of 18.
On the United Nations webpage for International Women's Day, the origin of International Women's Day is attributed to a series of events in the early 20th century, including: the American Socialists designated February 28 as National Women's Day in 1909; In 1910, more than 100 women delegates from 17 countries led by Zetkin at the Copenhagen Conference of the Second International planned to establish International Women's Day, but did not specify the exact date; On March 19, 1911, more than 1 million women in Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland gathered to celebrate International Women's Day; On the last Sunday of February 1913, Russian women celebrated their International Women's Day by holding demonstrations against World War I; On March 8, 1914, women in many European countries held anti-war demonstrations; In order to commemorate the nearly 2 million Russian women who died in World War I, on March 8, 1917 (February 23 in the Russian calendar) Russian women went on strike, kicking off the "February Revolution", and four days later, the tsar was forced to abdicate and temporarily announced the right to vote for women. It can be said that it was this series of feminist movements in Europe and the Americas at the beginning of the last century that jointly contributed to the birth of International Women's Day, rather than the legacy of the international communist movement as people take for granted.

Culturally: the first generation of Western feminism: Western feminism originated after the French bourgeois revolution and the Enlightenment, and the first generation appeared in the second half of the 19th century, coinciding with the European Industrial Revolution. The initial demand was that women should be equal in education and legislation, and economically equal to men. They are mainly appealing for women's emancipation from the economic aspect. Some of the socialists in China in the 20s and 40s of the 19th century were influenced by feminism, mainly belonging to this generation. During this period, feminism had not yet risen to the level of theory, mainly some practical activities, such as the movement for equal pay for women for equal work led by Clara Zetkin, and the birth of "March 8 International Women's Day".
Politically: On this day, women from all continents of the world, regardless of nationality, race, language, culture, economy and politics, are concerned about women's human rights. In recent decades, the international women's movement has been strengthened by four global conferences of the United Nations, and as the international women's movement has grown, Women's Day has gained global significance.
