You can now search the membership register for Göteborgs Förening för kvinnans politiska rösträtt (FKPR) from the period 1911-1920 on Slekt1. The register provides access to the details of 1,673 members who paid membership fees during this period, and includes details such as name, title or occupation, address and annual membership fee.
Göteborgs FKPR was founded in 1902 by Frigga Carlberg, a well-known writer and social worker who devoted much of her life to promoting women's political rights. The association was among the most active in Sweden, and under Carlberg's leadership they organized the country's first and only street protest for women's right to vote in 1918.
The register provides a unique insight into who supported this movement at a local level, from teachers and maids to business people and community leaders. Many of the members played key roles in the struggle for women's political influence, and the list also provides a window into the social structure of Gothenburg in the early 1900s.
The availability of this data is a valuable resource for historians, researchers and genealogists. It helps to shed light on an important period in Swedish history and provides opportunities for deeper exploration of the movement that ultimately secured the right to vote for Swedish women in 1919.
