In a world full of bad news, here are some #goodnews:

To improve gender equality, Denmark has completed an initiative to identify 100 historic women for whom statues will be made, to create a better balance between the genders of the statues in Denmark.

On the list is our historically important Queen Margrethe I, former Prime Minister Helle Thorning, Author Tove Ditlevsen, Author Karen Blixen, Film Producer Lise Nørgaard, and many, many others.

Udvalg udpeger 100 danske kvinder, der bør få en statue – og kommer med en opfordring
