Thanks Alice, hope you were in Stockholm during the right half of the year. Another factors that might played role are the few people that lived in the vast territories of NO, SE, FI and the climate which is for about one third of the year life threatening
Excellent piece! I think there's another factor worth exploring - proportional voting, which incentivizes compromise and coalition building, and has been linked to higher female representation in governments. I wrote about it here: https://darbysaxbe.substack.com/p/why-hasnt-the-us-elected-a-woman
I’m interested to learn more about the modesty aspect in Western countries. It makes total sense when you write about some Muslim and other countries where women are literally supposed to stay in seclusion, but this was less so in Europe… on the other hand I know about the idea of having a chaperone which surely didn’t help having a job.

This was such a good read and deeply resonated with the research I have been doing.

I think the dots I was able to connect here was also how salary transparency also probably played a significant role?
I wonder how much time you put into these articles, so much information! Thank you for your effort.
