In 1975, Icelandic women earned 40% less than men; today it is only 10%. A "Women's Day Off" strike was held in 1975; 90% of women refused to work. It shut down the country. In response Iceland passed a Gender Equality Act & elected a female president.

How did Iceland close its gender pay gap?

Iceland passed its first Gender Equality Act soon after 90 percent of women across the country shut it down by refusing to work and going on strike.
