Kreppur og kerfishrun í ljósi kyngerva og þegnréttar

TL;DRAbstract

The article addresses the issue of the gendered social citizenship of our times in relation to the period of the first World War. After the collapse of the financial system in 2008 and the following difficulties, the World Economic Forum reported that Iceland had the smallest gender gap in the world. This has historical resemblance with the period of the first World War when women's rights in Iceland were considered to be the best in the world. The article explores these parallels in order to map continuities and discontinuities. Social and political participation is explored and how it is culturally framed within each time period. By focusing on the terms for inclusion the article aims to shed a light on the paradoxical gender relations in our times and what lessons can be learned from history.
