On International Women’s Day under the Gregorian calendar, women textile workers in Petrograd struck and marched for bread and an end to war. Their action widened into a mass movement joined by male workers. The revolution began through popular initiative, not a plan directed from the Bolshevik leadership. Dates in 1917 Russian records often use the Julian calendar, thirteen days behind the Gregorian calendar.
