A thoughtful, challenging story.
When the going got tough, Denmark's first female prime minister, Birgitte Nyborg faces this problem head-on. In an understated duel with the owner of Denmark's largest corporation, the Prime Minister executed her moves brilliantly.
Although portrayed as radical, as the story unfolds, an initiative requiring that all corporate boards must include an equal number of men and women doesn't seem far-fetched.
Also interesting was the status-seeking Minister for Social Affairs and Gender Equality Pernille Madsen, who pretends to care about gender equality as long as it leads to her rising in the government hierarchy.
An interesting subtext was the writer's choice for the last name of Denmark's most powerful industrialist (Chrone). As you may know, "krone" is Denmark's currency.
Never one to disappoint, Kaspar Juul yells at Henriett, telling her she needs to be more professional. Then seconds later he tries to put the moves on her . . . Uhhh.
You have to wonder what's going on between Brigitte and her husband. She won a major political victory and wanted to celebrate with a frolic in bed. But Philip put the quash to that. Is this a preview of things to come? Is Philip secretly jealous of his wife's success? We'll have to wait and see.
