  Norwegian feminist Katti Anker Møller delivered a ground-breaking lecture in Oslo on reproductive rights and decriminalizing abortion in Norway, stating "The basis for all freedom is the governance over one's own body and everything that is in it. The opposite is the condition of a slave."
  British polar exploration ship Endurance came upon a massive glacier on the Antarctic coast.

  Japanese Government Railways extended the Kisarazu rail line in the Chiba Prefecture, Japan, with stations Aohori, Susai, Ōnuki, Sanukimachi, and Kazusa-Minato serving the line. As well, the Tōkaidō Main Line was extended in the Shizuoka Prefecture with stations Araimachi and Washizu serving the line.
  The horror film The Golem, based on a supernatural creature from Jewish folklore, was released. Paul Wegener and Henrik Galeen wrote and directed the film as well as appearing in it (with Wegner as the golem). Wegner would produce two more films featuring the creature, although only the third film survived in its complete form.
  Labor activist Ralph Chaplin completed the trade union anthem "Solidarity Forever" in time to tribute the anniversary of the Paint Creek Mine War in 1912. The song since then has become a popular cover for folks singers such as Pete Seeger and Utah Phillips.
