When Clara Zetkin (Leader of the ‘Women’s Office’ for the Social Democratic Party in Germany) first tabled the idea of an International Women’s Day in 1910 at the second International Conference of Working Women in Copenhagen, she did so in front of a conference of 100 women from 17 countries. 

KPMG is proud to have been named in The Times Top 50 Employers for Women List 2012.  With flexible working a key issue for some women, Sue Day, associate director in KPMG’s Corporate Finance practice, looks back at her years of working flexibly – when she was a member of the England women’s rugby team.
