"Iceland is the best place on earth to be a woman--but why? For the past twelve years, the World Economic Forum's Global Gender Gap Report has ranked Iceland number one on its list of countries closing the gap in equality between men and women. What is it about Iceland that makes many women's experience there so positive? Why has their society made such meaningful progress in this ongoing battle, from electing the world's first female president to passing legislation specifically designed to help even the playing field at work and at home? And how can we learn from what Icelanders have already discovered about women's powerful place in society and how increased fairness benefits everyone? 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 who never expected to become a first lady is expertly interwoven with interviews with dozens of sprakkar ("extraordinary women") to form the backbone of an illuminating discussion of what it means to move through the world as a woman, and how the rules of society play more of a role in who we view as "equal" than we may understand. Secrets of the Sprakkar is a powerful and atmospheric portrait of a tiny country that could lead the way forward for us all"-- Provided by publisher

Ein kraftvolles, atmosphärisch dichtes Porträt eines einzigartigen Landes, das als Vorbild für alle dienen kann. Island belegt seit zwölf Jahren den ersten Platz im Global Gender Gap Report des World Economic Forum, was auf die entscheidenden Schritte zur Gleichstellung der Geschlechter hinweist. Die Antwort auf Islands bemerkenswerte Fortschritte liegt in den SPRAKKAR – einem uralten isländischen Begriff für außergewöhnliche Frauen. Eliza Reid, die First Lady Islands und in Kanada geboren, interviewte zahlreiche SPRAKKAR, um deren inspirierende Geschichten zu erzählen. Sie verknüpft ihre Erfahrungen als Zugezogene aus einer kanadischen Kleinstadt mit der isländischen Haltung gegenüber Frauen, dem tief verwurzelten Sinn für Fairness und dem Einfluss weiblicher Vorbilder. Reid thematisiert auch die bestehenden Herausforderungen in der Gleichstellung, selbst in Island. Wie andere einflussreiche First Ladies nutzt sie ihre Position, um das Beste ihrer Nation zu präsentieren. Das Buch ist ein eindrucksvolles Porträt eines Landes, das als Modell für Gleichberechtigung und Fortschritt dient.
