Iceland's Outrageous Truth

An outrageous truth about Iceland's women I've stumbled upon. They literally stopped the entire country

for equality. October 24th, 1975. Ninety percent of Icelandic women walked

out. No work, no cooking, no childcare. Banks closed,

schools shut down. Factories went silent, sausages sold out. The nation froze. Five years later,

Iceland elected the world's first female president. The twist? They didn't ask

permission or wait for laws. They simply stopped showing up; the country couldn't function

without them. Sometimes, refusing a rigged game is the most powerful thing

you can do.
