+1 Female Majority Legislature

What’s happening? We first talked about Nevada’s State House having a female majority. Now Iceland joins the party.

How will this be important? 52% of Iceland’s Parliament seats are held by women and Iceland is the only Nordic country that hasn’t bounced back to pre-crisis levels of activity
