For 42 years, the IRSST has been interested in the occupational health and safety (OHS) of women and in gender differences. To mark International Women's Day, this year, the artisans of the IRSST's Documentation Centre are offering us a list of eight books on the health and safety of women in the workplace.

International Women's Day first took place on March 19, 1911, in Austria, Denmark, Germany, and Switzerland. That day, over a million women and men attended public events to show their support. In the years that followed, other countries began to observe and celebrate this day. The United Nations recognized 1975 as International Women's Year and began celebrating March 8 as International Women's Day.
