Secrets of the Sprakkar: Iceland's Extraordinary Women and How They Are Changing the World by Eliza Reid
Interesting discussion about gender equality and how Icelandic women have set out a path worthy of study
Reid interviews women throughout the country, showing—whether in urban Reykjavik (population 140,000) or rural Vopnafjördur (population 659)--that "we all know sprakkar." Reid, a native Canadian, was the First Lady of Iceland from 2016 to 2024.
Sprakkar (pronounced SPRAH-car), ancient Icelandic word for extraordinary women
Read in preparation for personal trip to Iceland.
