On October 24, 1975, ignited by the activism of the Red Stockings radical women’s group, 90% of Iceland’s women went on strike to protest the exploitation of women’s unpaid labor at home and their underpaid, undervalued labor outside the home. The Committee for Women’s Day Off was founded in June 1975 to organize this action. This flyer, issued by the Executive Committee for Women’s Day Off, includes a call to action and outlines the reasons why the strike was essential.
