The Reykjavík Women’s School (Kvennaskólinn í Reykjavík) was the first school in Iceland to offer formal secondary education for women, excluding midwifery training, which began in the late 18th century. Founded in 1874, the school remains active today and has been co-educational since 1977.

Founded in 1907, the Icelandic Women’s Rights Association (Kvenréttindafélag Íslands) ranks among the country’s oldest active organizations. Its founders set out to achieve full political equality for women, including the right to vote, hold office, and access employment and public roles.
As part of the global suffrage movement, the association formed close ties with international women’s rights groups. Since then, it has continually adapted its mission to reflect the changing priorities of each generation.

After gaining the right to vote and run in municipal elections in 1907, women in Reykjavík pushed to include female candidates on existing party lists. When that support didn’t materialize, they formed their own.
The Women’s Alliance achieved a significant victory in the 1908 elections, securing over 21% of the vote. All four Alliance candidates were elected to the city council, where they championed issues such as food support for the poor, public playgrounds, and swimming lessons for girls.

On June 19, 1915, King Christian X of Denmark, who also ruled over Iceland, signed a revised constitution that granted Icelandic women the right to vote and run for parliament. At the time, Iceland was a self-governing territory under the Danish crown. Since then, Iceland has celebrated June 19 as Women’s Rights Day. Compared to many other countries, Iceland recognized women’s political rights relatively early.
Initially, only women aged 40 and over could vote, with the voting age set to decrease by one year annually. Lawmakers felt it was too radical to grant suffrage to all women at once. In 1920, the voting age was equal between women and men; however, until 1934, both could lose their voting rights if they had received public assistance.

Although women had gained the right to vote and run for office in 1915, entering the political arena remained difficult. Male-dominated parties were reluctant to include women on their candidate lists. In response, Icelandic women formed their own list for the 1922 parliamentary elections, just as they had done successfully in earlier municipal polls.
The women candidates received 22% of the vote, and their lead, Ingibjörg H. Bjarnason, headmistress of the Reykjavík Women’s School, became Iceland’s first female member of parliament. She served until 1930, later joining an established political party.

Icelandic lawmakers were among the first in the world to permit abortion when the health of the mother or child was at risk. They also allowed consideration of social circumstances, but did not treat them as sufficient grounds on their own.

1940 —1945
During World War II, British forces occupied Iceland in the spring of 1940. A year later, the United States assumed defense responsibilities under an agreement with Icelandic authorities. The war years brought major upheaval to Icelandic society, not least for women.
The occupation created new jobs, giving many women greater financial independence. At the same time, those involved with foreign soldiers often faced scrutiny and social stigma. The women’s movement fought to protect the rights of women who had children with foreign soldiers, advocating for child support and legal protections. It also aimed to ensure that women did not lose their Icelandic citizenship if they married foreign men.

Equal Pay Act
Iceland passed its first Equal Pay Act under pressure from the women’s movement and international agreements, requiring equal pay for equal work.
The law did not address lower wages in female-dominated jobs or the placement of women in lower pay grades. Activists continued to push for stronger protections, demanding equal pay for work of equal value.

Inspired by international feminist movements, the Redstockings became a leading force for women’s rights in 1970s Iceland. Operating outside the political party system, they used bold and often theatrical protests to draw attention to gender inequality. In one demonstration, they led a cow wearing a crown and sash onto the stage of a beauty contest to criticize
the objectification of women. In another, they hung a rag doll—representing the “exhausted housewife”—in downtown Reykjavík before Christmas to protest the burden of domestic labor. The movement’s core demands included equal pay, universal childcare, paid maternity leave, and, above all, abortion rights based on women’s autonomy.

On United Nations Day, October 24, a large majority of Icelandic women stopped work to highlight their contributions to society. The event was organized by representatives from various women’s organizations in honor of the UN International Women’s Year.
Protests and rallies took place around the country, featuring speeches and singing. Organizers estimated that 90% of women in Iceland participated, and around 25,000 people gathered in downtown Reykjavík for one of the largest outdoor demonstrations in Icelandic history.

Abortion legalized on social grounds
Mirroring changes in neighboring Nordic countries, Iceland revised its abortion laws in the 1970s. The new legislation permitted abortion on both medical and social grounds. However, the final decision remained in the hands of doctors and social workers—not the women themselves—a limitation women’s rights advocates continued to challenge.

2025
At the start of 2025 women held many of Iceland's top leadership roles. A new coalition government took office, led by three women who chaired their parties. Iceland has a female president, bishop, prime minister, foreign minister, minister of justice. The national commissioner of police and the director of health are women, and soon after so
were the speaker of parliament, the mayor of Reykjavík, and the rector of the University of Iceland.
But there is a long way to go and the fight for equality continues in Iceland with main challenges being a persistent pay gap and gender-based violence.
