Based on Eliza’s bestselling book, Secrets of the Sprakkar: Iceland’s Extraordinary Women and How They are Changing the World, this talk introduces people to Iceland, the country that has come closer than any other to closing the gender gap over the past 15 years. Using Iceland as an example, it covers what works and what remains to be done, from policy approaches such as parental leave for both parents and equal pay legislation, to the value of role models in society. Most importantly, this talk shares the stories of “sprakkar” – an Icelandic word for “extraordinary women” – who are making a difference in their communities by taking up space, using their voices, and serving as role models. This talk inspires us all to make a difference in the world by nudging things in the right direction.
