On this day in 1975, an estimated 90% of Icelandic women participated in a "Women's Day Off" (or Kvennafrí), walking out of both paid and unpaid work to protest wage discrepancies and unfair employment practices.

On this day in 1975, around 90 percent of women in Iceland went on strike. They protested unequal pay by refusing to do housework, child rearing, or the duties of their paid positions. The next year, Iceland's parliament passed a law guaranteeing equal pay for women.

"Kvennafri," or "Women's Day Off" significantly disrupted the country, shutting down banks, schools, and many businesses, as women refused to participate in their paid and unpaid labor. The event was a major success, leading to public support for change and, the following year, the passing of a law that guaranteed equal rights for women. Image source: Iceland Mag

Women earn about 80% of what men do in USA. If work starts at 9am, women would start working for free at ~3:24pm. #kvennafrí

“1975年10月24日。前出の首相官邸の前などレイキャビックの中心地を女性たちが埋め尽くした。「女性の休日（Kvennafrí／the Women’s Day Off）」と言われるストライキで、女性の9割が職場を離脱し、主婦も家事を離れた結果、社会は大きな混乱に陥った半面、社会がどれほど女性の働きによって支えられているかを実感することになったと言われている”

Tens of thousands of women in Iceland, including their Prime Minister Katrín Jakobsdóttir, are refusing to work on Tuesday.

The "kvennafrí", or women's day off, has been called in protest at the gender pay gap and gender-based violence.

Iceland is planning to hold a large-scale strike of women for the first time in 48 years. Even the country's prime minister will not go to work - The Guardian Despite Iceland's status as a leader in gender equality, women still earn 21% less than men in some professions...ALT
In addition, more than 40% of women face gender inequality or sexual violence. The last time such an event was held was in 1975 - then 90% of women in the country refused to work as part of the "kvennafrí" (women's day off) action. This protest completely paralyzed the country, demonstrating the importance of women's participation in all economic processes and leading to significant changes, including the selection of the world's first female president.
