In 1903, she became chair of the local suffragist branch of the National Association for Women's Suffrage until she left Umeå for the Swedish capital about a year later.

[1] Following her basic school education, Eurén studied at the Royal Advanced Female Teaching Seminary (Kungliga högre lärarinneseminariet) in Stockholm, from which she graduated in 1884.

[3][6] At the Umeå seminary Elisabet Eurén was the only female teacher at the time, her main subjects being Swedish, pedagogical methodology and later also Christian theology.

[7] Apart from contacts to the Swedish Dress Reform Association and other proponents of women's rights, Elisabet Eurén was also socially engaged.

[1][8] Following the death of her mother in 1904, who had spent the last years of her life in her daughter's apartment in Umeå, Elisabet Eurén moved back to Stockholm and continued working as a teacher for Swedish, nature studies, pedagogy and methodology at the public school training seminary in Maria Prästgårdsgata in the district of Södermalm.

[3][10] Eurén continued her reformatory work in the pedagogical field and together with like-minded female colleagues became a strong proponent for structural changes in public education.

Back in 1912 they had founded Birkagården, the first of Sweden's so-called ‘settlement’ houses (hemgård) that served as contact points between the urban poor and middle-class volunteers and provided services such as education, daycare for children or medical assistance, even this with a strong Christian orientation.

[12] Eurén strongly supported the ecumenical and social educational work at Birkagården, something that was also highlighted in the obituary published in Svenska Dagbladet upon her death in 1939.

[14] Through Matilda Widegren, even she a teacher and graduate from Stockholm Royal Advanced Female Teaching Seminary, as well as a leading figure of the Swedish peace movement, Eurén was introduced to other female teachers concerned with teaching school pupils about issues related to peace and democratic values, with the aim of "promoting the creation of the ethical and social spirit, which must form the necessary basis for the relationship between peoples" ("att främja skapandet av den etiska och sociala anda, som måste bilda den nödvändiga grundvalen för förhållandet mellan folken").

[3] Upon her death, the associations she had been a member of or was otherwise affiliated with showed their respect through speeches or by sending wreaths and flowers for her cremation and burial at Norra begravningsplatsen in Solna.
