#OnThisDay in 1975, 90% of women in Iceland participated in the Women's Day Off strike to "demonstrate the indispensable work of women for Iceland's economy and society" and to "protest wage discrepancy and unfair employment practices".

A law guaranteeing equal rights was passed the following year, and the first democratically elected female president in Iceland and the world five years later.
