Equality in Iceland with Vigdis Finnbogadóttir and Nanna Bryndís Hilmarsdóttir

On this day in 1975 the women of Iceland made a stand against lower pay and the low value placed on their work by taking a day off. This iconic moment has helped propel Iceland to the forefront of the fight for equality. The world’s first democratically elected female president Vigdis Finnbogadóttir, who remembers this life-changing event, and Of Monsters and Men singer Nanna Bryndís Hilmarsdóttir, a successful role model for young women, sat down to discuss equality. This afternoon, women in Iceland left work early to protest the gender wage gap which, despite the advancements in equality, still exists today.
