Inkandescent Women magazine The Day Iceland Stood Still

50 years ago, 90% of Iceland's women went on strike. Guess what happened next?

When nearly all of Iceland’s women walked off the job and out of their homes the morning of October 24, 1975, the country came to a standstill. The women refused to work, cook, or take care of the children; they brought their country to its knees and catapulted the island nation to its status as one of the best places in the world today to be a woman. Check out our interview with the filmmakers who bring history to life in their powerful, moving documentary. We also had the opportunity to meet the Ambassador of Iceland to the United States, Svanhildur Hólm Valsdóttir at the premier. Stay tuned for our interview with her!
