  • Gender Equality and Nation Branding in the Nordic Region
    5 Trouble in paradise? Icelandic gender-equality imaginaries, national rebranding and international reification Irma Erlingsdóttir The period 1970–2020 can be characterized in terms of a slow process of tearing down gendered power structures in Icelandic political and economic life. In the 1970s and 1980s, women’s movements spurred critical debates about gender inequalities, which were instrumental in putting women’s rights on the political agenda. Feminist activism led to the first women’s strike in 1975, during which women left their jobs or homes for a day to demonstrate the importance of their contribution to society. Another important event was the 1980 election of Vigdís Finnbogadóttir as the world’s first democrat- ically directly elected female head of state. And 1983 witnessed the electoral breakthrough of a women’s only movement – the Women’s Alliance – which was represented in the Icelandic parliament until 1999. In all these cases, de- mands for the empowerment of women deeply influenced Icelandic society and the male-dominated political parties. These achievements, however, were followed by an anti-feminist backlash in Iceland during the first decade of the twenty-first century. What has been dubbed the ‘era of masculinities’ coincided with a neoliberal turn driven by a group of businessmen with the active support of the political elite (Þorvalds- dóttir, 2014: 52; see also Enloe, 2013; Loftsdóttir, 2015b). This led to the adop- tion of privatization and deregulatory policies and an unprecedented foreign expansion of Icelandic banks and private enterprises. The masculinized boom-era culture that accompanied this business–government collusion was, of course, part of a global trend.
