Secrets of the sprakkar : Iceland's extraordinary women and how they are changing the world (engelsk)


Beskrivelse


Eliza Reid, the First Lady of Iceland, examines her adopted homeland's attitude toward women - the deep-seated cultural sense of fairness, the influence of current and historical role models, and, crucially, the areas where Iceland still has room for improvement. Reid's own experience as an immigrant from small-town Canada is interwoven with interviews with dozens of sprakkar (“extraordinary women”).
