Anybody aware of who and where the international womens day started and why we have it in the US? I'm betting the majority of activist marchers have no clue where their "celebration" originated.

International Women's Day (IWD) is celebrated on March 8 every year.[3] It commemorates the movement for women's rights.

The earliest Women's Day observance was held on February 28, 1909, in New York and organized by the Socialist Party of America.[4] On March 8, 1917, in the capital of the Russian Empire, Petrograd, a demonstration of women textile workers began, covering the whole city. This was the beginning of the Russian Revolution.[5] Seven days later, the Emperor of Russia Nicholas II abdicated and the provisional Government granted women the right to vote.[4] March 8 was declared a national holiday in Soviet Russia in 1917. The day was predominantly celebrated by the socialist movement and communist countries until it was adopted in 1975 by the United Nations.

Why the desire for obscure conspiracy theories versus obvious explanations? There were never any marches like this before a certain, specific person became president and that person has specifically been very antagonistic towards women in ways that offend them. You can disagree with that but it's pretty obvious where their motivation and anger comes from.
