Fredrika Bremer Association

The FBF works with forming public opinion in favor of gender equality by information and activities, and by handing out money from various funds and scholarships.

[3] It was named in honor of the Swedish novelist Fredrika Bremer, whose novel Hertha was responsible for the legislation emancipating unmarried women from wardship of their male relatives.

[3] In 1899, a delegation from the FBF presented a suggestion of woman suffrage to prime minister Erik Gustaf Boström.

In 1934, Ida von Plomgren, a longterm employee and member fronted a publicity film about the FBF, narrating how far the fight for women's rights had come and sharing some of the organisation's areas of activity.

This included a visit to the FBF office at Klarabergsgatan 48, where Plomgren joked that her door sign should read ‘Ask me about everything - because that's what the Swedish people do’.
