Gertrud Adelborg

Gertrud Virginia Adelborg (10 September 1853 – 25 January 1942) was a Swedish teacher, feminist and leading member of the women's rights movement.

She was the daughter of Naval Captain and nobleman Bror Jacob Adelborg (1816–1865) and his wife Hedvig Catharina af Uhr (1820–1903).

In 1899, a delegation from the FBF presented a suggestion of women's suffrage to Prime Minister Erik Gustaf Boström.

Adelborg was a member of the central committee in the National Association for Women's Suffrage (Swedish: Landsföreningen för kvinnans politiska rösträtt, LKPR) from 1903 to 1906.

[2] According to Lydia Wahlström: "as soon as the king heard the name of his father, his interest was awoken",[2] and Oscar II promised his support, but added that as a constitutional monarch he could not do much, and that the doubted the present government would.
