Norwegian Labour Party's Women's Federation

Initially concerned with working conditions and voting rights, its interests were extended over the years.

The movement was dissolved in 2005 when the Labour Party adopted equal gender distribution in all its bodies, both national and local.

[1] For many years the organization was concerned mainly with better living conditions for working-class families and increasing the acceptance of housewives in society at large.

[1] Important figures in the organization over the years include Gunhild Ziener (1868–1937), Martha Tynæs (1870–1930), Hanna Adolfsen (1872–1926), Thina Thorleifsen (1885–1959), Johanne Reutz Gjermoe (1896–1989), Aase Lionæs (1907–1999), Rakel Seweriin (1906–1995), Aase Bjerkholt (1915–2012) and Sylvia Brustad (born 1966).

[2] Karita Bekkemellem (born 1965) became the organization's leader in 1998 and headed the newly formed women's network until 2009.
