Gender equality in Scandinavia is better than gender equality in the US.
Scandinavian nations are ranked much higher in gender equality than the US is. That
means that women their have more rights than we do here. Although you may think that
the US has great gender equality, many problems that people may not even think of still
exist. The US never had a female leader as opposed to scandinavia that had many. As
you can see from the table, many statistics from Scandinavia are much better then
those from the US.
