Norway is one of the world's largest oil-exporting nations. It is also one of the most progressive countries in the world, according to the Global Gender Gap Index, the Global Peace Index, and the Human Development Index. Yet, despite its outstanding culture, important economy, and spectacular beauty, Norway remains unfamiliar to most Americans.
Margaret Hayford O'Leary, PhD, is professor of Norwegian at St. Olaf College in Northfield, MN, where she has taught since 1977.
