FWIW, a national day without women was highly effective in Iceland in the 1970s:  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1975_Icelandic_women's_strike

"The women achieved their goal of showing Iceland their value by essentially shutting down the country for a day.[1] The Day Off “opened the eyes of many men” who referred to the it as “the long Friday.”[3] The 1975 demonstration can be watched to on this link 1975 demonstration.[5]

The next year, “Iceland’s parliament passed a law guaranteeing equal rights for women and men.”[1] Although this 1976 law “did little to change wage inequality and disparity in wages and employment for women”,[1] it was a large political step towards true equality. The strikers had achieved their goal and demonstrated the undeniable importance of women and their hard work in Iceland. The strike also paved the way for the election of Vigdís Finnbogadóttir, the first democratically elected female president in the world five years later in 1980."
