Equalism

Memes, History, and Iceland: On October 24, 1975, the women
of Iceland went on strike for equal rights.
90% of women walked off their jobs and
out of their homes, shutting down the entire
country. The men could barely cope. The
next year, Parliament passed a law
guaranteeing equal pay. Five years later,
Iceland elected the world's first female
President. Now Iceland has the highest
gender equality in the world.
