The 19th of June is dedicated to women‘s suffrace in Iceland. Icelandic women gained the parliamentary vote on that day in 1915. However, the right to vote was only given to women over forty years of age. Five years later the suffrage laws were modified and women got the same rights as men.
Today, Icelandic women celebrate 99 years of suffrage.
