Answer:

'Peace and Bread'

Step-by-step explanation:

On the Internation Women's day (8th of March) in 1917. women of the Russian Empire in St. Petersburg (known as Petrograd at the time) began the demonstration. Women were mostly textile workers demanding “Peace and bread” – end of World War I battles and food for the starved people of Russia.

At the time, there was a significant shortage of food and the lower classes (especially workers) were hungry for some time.

This was part of the Russian Revolution which led to the end of the Tsar’s rulership in Russia. Tsar Nicholas II abdicated on the 15th of march and women of Russia were given the right to vote.
