When women stopped Iceland

Discover the fascinating story behind the first and legendary Icelandic women's strike of 1975, in which, for an entire day, they refused to work, take care of their children or cook. When 90% of Icelandic women walked off their jobs and walked out of their homes one autumn morning in 1975, refusing to work, cook, or look after children, they brought their country to a standstill and catapulted Iceland to the top as "the best place in the world to be a woman."
