Life on the Faroe Islands: A Challenging Landscape for Women.

Photographer Andrea Gjestvang's new book, "Atlantic Cowboy," depicts the harsh and remote conditions of the Faroe Islands, a self-governing nation in the Kingdom of Denmark. The book features portraits of the islands' unmarried men, who are shown performing physically demanding jobs traditionally taken by men. The Faroe Islands have a significant gender imbalance, with just 48.2% of the population being female, posing significant societal implications. The government has invested in gender equality and employment initiatives to make the islands more appealing to women. The book also explores the Faroese identity, which celebrates virtues of strength and fortitude, particularly in men.
