Power Up, the groundbreaking initiative of the Women’s Rights and Empowerment Network (WREN,) returns! Power Up 2023 will highlight the most promising opportunities that can close economic gaps, including: paid leave, equal pay, improving workplace culture, and removing barriers to economic self-sufficiency and opportunity. This year’s series kicks off with Secrets of the Sprakkar: An Evening with Eliza Reid, First Lady of Iceland.

Iceland is the most gender-equitable country in the world. They demand equal pay for equal work. Their paid parental leave policy is the gold standard. Childcare is top quality and affordable. And as First Lady of Iceland and fierce gender equality advocate, Eliza Reid explores these themes and more in her book Secrets of the Sprakkar: Iceland’s Extraordinary Women and How They Are Changing the World.

Monday, March 13, WREN will host Eliza Reid for an intimate discussion on her personal journey from Canadian writer to First Lady of Iceland and why her adopted homeland is one of the best places on earth for women. Secrets of the Sprakkar: An Evening with Eliza Reid, First Lady of Iceland will explore how Iceland is closing the gender gap, what we as South Carolinians can learn from Iceland’s example, and the unique challenges ahead for Iceland and South Carolina in the pursuit of full gender equality.
