Anna Stenberg

Anna Stenberg (25 July 1867 – 21 February 1956) was a Swedish politician and suffragist who represented the Social Democratic Workers' Party of Sweden from 1911 to 1918.

Anna Stenberg was born on 25 July 1867 in Brönnestad [sv], Sweden.

Abandoned by her mother Cecilia Bengtsdotter at an early age, she was raised in Röshult [sv], a small town in the north-west of Hässleholm by her foster parents.

[1][2] In 1900, Stenberg became a member of the Malmö kvinnliga diskussionsklubb (Women's Discussion Group), which served as a political platform for discussions about women's suffrage, education, health, and other societal conditions.

In connection to municipal politics after 1910, she became the first woman to serve on the Malmö town council.
