Vigdís Finnbogadóttir, 1930-

American Women Making History and Culture: 1963-1982

Description:

Iceland's president, Vigdis Finnbogadottir, discusses her life as a theater director and professor of French, her exciting election of 1980, and her view of her role as representative of her country. Also a look at Iceland's thousand years of history, culture, and literature, from the medieval sagas to the novels of Nobel Prize winner Halldor Laxness; a brief account of Iceland's unique geography; a few remarks on the political structure of this small country just below the Arctic Circle in the North Atlantic.
