Każdy Islandczyk w odpowiednim wieku pamięta, co robił 24 października 1975 r. Tego dnia w okienkach w bankach musieli usiąść menedżerowie wyższego szczebla, bo do pracy nie przyszły kasjerki. Odwołano loty, gdyż przy bramkach nie stawiły się stewardessy. Tysiące ojców przyszło do biur i magazynów z dziećmi, gdyż zastrajkowały nauczycielki i przedszkolanki. W strajku kobiet wzięło udział 90 proc. pracujących zawodowo Islandek oraz gospodynie domowe. To bezprecedensowe wydarzenie utorowało drogę kobiecie, która do historii przeszła jako pierwsza na świecie prezydentka wybrana w powszechnych wyborach. Wystartować w wyścigu o urząd zdecydowała się po telegramie od rybaków z kutra łowiącego dorsza na północnych wodach: "Domagamy się, żeby pani kandydowała". Wygrała, będąc chwilowo bezrobotną samotną matką adoptowanej dziewczynki. Rządziła przez 16 kolejnych lat, tak długo, że mali islandcy chłopcy pytali, czy mężczyzna też może być prezydentem. W dzisiejszym odcinku Herstorii Wysokich Obcasów Natalia Waloch i Katarzyna Wężyk opowiadają o Vigdis Finnbogadottir.

In 1980, the tiny country of Iceland did something no other nation had done. They elected a female head of state. BBC chief international correspondent Lyse Doucet travels to Reykjavik to meet Vigdis Finnbogadottir. Now 87, she was president for exactly 16 years and remains the longest-serving elected female head of state of any country to date. "That's what I have given to the girls of this country," she says: “If she can, I can.”

Islendinger kan ikke alltid bruke morsmålet sitt når de handler eller går på restaurant i Reykjavik. De siste årene har turismen økt voldsomt på den lille øya, og servicenæringen er avhengig av å importere arbeidskraft for å få hjulene til å gå rundt. Det fører til at mange ansatte på restauranter, puber, i suvenirbutikker og hoteller ikke snakker islandsk. - Jeg synes det er trist at jeg ikke kan snakke morsmålet mitt i mitt eget land, sier Sigrún Stefánsdóttir, dekan ved universitetet i Akureyri. Språkprofessor Áudur Hauksdóttir, som leder Vigdis Finnbogadottir institutt for fremmedspråk ved Islands Universitet, mener det er greit å bruke engelsk, så lenge det ikke påvirker det islandske språket. Men akkurat det er man bekymret for ved Árni Magnússon-instituttet for islandske studier i Reykjavík. - Utviklingen innen turistnæringen går så fort nå, vi vet ikke hvordan dette ender, sier språkkonsulent Jóhannes Bjarni Sigtryggsson. Det er viktig for et lite språk at det kan brukes på alle områder i samfunnet, mener han. Hvor kommer uttrykket "sandpåstrøing" fra? Sylfest Lomheim svarer på dette og andre lytterspørsmål. Programleder er Ann Jones.
