Girls Forward, was sung 50 years ago, on October 24, 1975, in the center of the Icelandic capital, Reykjavík. The song with that title (originally Áfram Stelpur) became the anthem of the first nationwide women's strike, which led to fundamental changes in Iceland - most notably the founding of a women's political party called the Women's Alliance and, in 1980, Iceland became the first country in the world to directly elect a female president.
