Halla Tómasdóttir, the second woman to be Iceland’s head of state, says her inauguration was ‘truly magical’
Halla Tómasdóttir was just 11 years old when Vigdís Finnbogadóttir became Iceland’s head of state – and in the process the world’s first democratically elected female president.
This, she said, “planted a seed” that would influence her career as an entrepreneur and her view on female leadership, ultimately leading her to follow in Vigdís’s footsteps to become the second woman in the role.
