I feel very ‘seen’ by this stack. Thank you Dr Heidi. We clearly have much more work to do on gender equality. Is that going to fall on women too?

That is one of the best compliments, Ann! I'm curious about which part resonated. You can email me directly if you can share. And yes, you ask a good question! Someone suggested to me recently that I write about what men can do to support the fostering of Pink Zones, and I don't have the answers, but this is one clear area where collaboration is key, and there is work to be done! I welcome ideas on this!

Icelandic women in 1975 - I never knew and I absolutely love it!

Yes, it's quite amazing isn't it! Iceland has been the most consistent country in terms of gender equality for the last 15 years, according to the Global Gender Gap Report, and ranked at #1. Also, it's #3 in the world happiness index (2025). So all of this also lends reason to optimism!
