Common Sparrow<p>Today's book recommendation for Women's History Month is "Breaking the Ice Ceiling: How the Icelandic Women's Day Strike Shattered Patriarchy" by Sarah Johnson, a brief 50-page account of the 1975 "Women's Day Off" strike in Iceland. </p><p>I found this book in a "Little Free Library", but was unable to find a link to a current publisher, so it is possible it's now out of print. But this was an event which I'd never heard of before, and which I found so fascinating that I'm going ahead and recommending the book anyway. Maybe you can dig up a used copy as I did.</p><p>On October 24, 1975, the women of Iceland went on a daylong strike. An amazing 90% of Icelandic women participated. Those who had paid employment did not go to work. Those who were housewives did no household tasks or child care. The strike brought the country to a standstill. </p><p>Schools closed for lack of teachers. Telephone service shut down without telephone operators. Canneries shut down without the women who worked there. Typesetters were mostly women, so newspapers were not printed. Workplaces saw an influx of children, as their fathers brought the kids to work with them for lack of child care.</p><p>The aftermath was a national reckoning with the situation of women. The following year, Iceland saw passage of a Gender Equality law, and five years later, Iceland elected the world's first woman president. Today, Iceland has one of the smallest gender wage gaps in the world. </p><p><a href="https://mindly.social/tags/WomensHistoryMonth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WomensHistoryMonth</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/BookRecommendations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BookRecommendations</span></a></p>
