I'm curious about what you mean by "it doesn't translate well".

Like, it rhymes in Norwegian? Or the complete meaning doesn't come across?

I like the slogan even if it doesn't quite translate the way you mean.

Thanks for sharing that, I'm going to use it.

    In Norway we'd say "kvinnekamp er klassekamp". It's a bit catchier, but more importantly "kvinnekamp" is a more established term than "women's struggle", so I wasn't sure how well it would translate. If it sounds good to native speakers that's of course great!

    I don't know if two qualifies as "a lot", but I guess it is a significant proportion of Scandinavian languages.
