The combination of the strike and an explicitly left feminist agenda drew some criticism from Hillary-style Democrats, and even some people further to the left. It would be too small, too radical, too adventurous to make any kind of political difference.</p> <p>But March 8 showed that, despite such criticisms, women in the United States were drawn to the political project signaled by the women's strike. The “Day Without a Woman” saw three school districts close and protests across the country.</p> <p>Yet the action's organizers aren't stopping there; instead, they are already mobilizing for May Day.
