"Listen to your inner voice". Women's Choice in Reykjavík and Kvennalisti 1982-1987. Compiled by Kristín Jónsdóttir. Editors Erla Hulda Halldórsdóttir and Ragnheiður Kristjánsdóttir.
The special candidacies of women in the early 1980s marked a turning point in Icelandic political history. They were a product of societal changes and the widespread dissatisfaction of many women who believed that traditional political forces neither listened to women nor worked for their interests or social reform.
The book discusses the emergence of the Women's Party in Reykjavík in 1982 and the Women's List in 1983. Kristín Jónsdóttir examines the social and academic background of the parties, discusses their ideology and political work, reactions to them, and internal conflicts. Although Kristín's research primarily covers the year 1987, when the Women's List was at the height of its career, she discusses in the epilogue the ideological differences that arose around 1990 and ultimately led to the Women's List's cessation of political activity. Kristín herself was a participant in the women's parties.
Her perspective on the subject is therefore both personal and academic.
