  "textContent": "On Oct. 24, 1975, 90 percent of the women in Iceland refused to go to work, care for their children or cook for their families. Instead, thousands gathered in Reykjavík and villages nationwide to demand gender equality.\n\nSchools closed. Flights were canceled. Businesses shuttered. Factories came to a standstill. Phone service was off.\n\nMen called it “The Long Friday.” Organizers called it _Kvennafrídagurinn_ : Women’s Day Off.\n\nThe post They Dare, They Can, They Will: The History of Iceland’s Decades-Strong Women’s Strike Movement appeared first on Ms. Magazine.",
