    Gender in urban Europe: sites of political activity and citizenship2014Collection (editor) (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Modern conceptions of citizenship are frequently associated with the emergence of nation-states, but throughout the period covered by this volume, citizenship continued to be practiced at local level. An ongoing growth in urban populations prompted an associated rise in the power and complexitey of local government, making towns and cities a central site for the privileges and demands of modern citizenship. This volume investigates the complex and sometimes unexpected ways in which women and men negotiated the gendering of citizenship in urban locations, at the same time paying attention to the interrelated impact of social class, age and marital status on its development. Through an integrated set of local studies exploring the gendering of political activities across a variety of sites, the volume explores the processes through which groups developed political activity and the connections between such activity and the expansion of citizenship. It contributes to an overall discussion of the connections between the formation of gendered and class-dependent citizenship, and the development of democracy and political representation.

    Introduction2018In: Revisiting Gender in European History, 1400–1800, Routledge, 2018, p. 1-9Chapter in book (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The scholarly notion of gender has only recently been framed. In the aftermath of World War II, a series of social demands and protests emerged which shook the Western world. These movements placed social and political inequality at the core of their struggle. In particular, feminist movements, collectively called the second wave, blossomed throughout the Western world in the late 1960s and throughout the 1970s. Their powerful socio-political dimension and dynamism quickly attracted worldwide attention. This chapter also presents an overview of this book. The book covers various regions in Europe in different time periods at all levels of society. It covers a wide socio-professional spectrum, from elite women to female artisans, domestics and peasant women. The book redresses a lack of scholarship on gender and 'the dark or unofficial side of the preindustrial economy'. It examines the illness experience articulated by two late medieval mystical writers through the possibilities afforded by medicine and religious culture.

    Revisiting gender in European history, 1400-18002018Collection (editor) (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Do women have a history? Did women have a renaissance? These were provocative questions when they were raised in the heyday of women's studies in the 1970s. But how relevant does gender remain to premodern history in the twenty-first century? This book considers this question in eight new case studies that span the European continent from 1400 to 1800. An introductory essay examines the category of gender in historiography and specifically within premodern historiography, as well as the issue of source material for historians of the period. The eight individual essays seek to examine gender in relation to emerging fields and theoretical considerations, as well as how premodern history contributes to traditional concepts and theories within women's and gender studies, such as patriarchy.

    Beskedliga och skickliga - eller okunniga och oskickliga?: Skolmästarinnor och skolmästare i skolor för fattiga barn kring sekelskiftet 18002022In: Vägval i skolans historia, E-ISSN 2002-0147, no 3Article in journal (Other (popular science, discussion, etc.))
    Abstract [sv]

    I maj 1791 tillkännagav landshövdingen i Uppsala att det Kungliga Patriotiska sällskapet hade beviljat skolmästarinnan hustru Greta Almgren ett "hederstecken, bestående av en dubbel silverhalskedja med vidhängande medalj". Hederstecknet lämnades med motiveringen "för dess slit vid barnens undervisning i flera år". Skolmästarinnan Almgren arbetade i en av de skolor för fattiga barn som grundlades runtom i svenska städer kring sekelskiftet 1800. När hon anställdes 1784 benämndes hon i skolans styrelseprotokoll som en av två "beskedliga gummor", men snart blev det uppenbart att Almgren hade en långt vidare kompetens än att vara beskedlig.

    Abstract [en]

    I denna skrift presenteras nordisk forskning om kvinnor och politik under tidigmodern tid, med särskilt fokus på kvinnor som politiska aktörer. Frågorna behandlas genom forskningsöversikter samt i ett antal presentationer av nya empiriska undersökningar. Fortfarande saknas sådana inom ett flertal områden och volymen får därför ses dels som början till en nordisk komparation av pågående forskning, dels som ett forum att belysa ett antal områden som är angelägna att studera närmare.

    I boken presentaras först en dansk forskningsöversikt och sedan en undersökning av danska adelskvinnors politiska agerande under 1500-talet. Därefter följer tre norska bidrag: en forskningsöversikt, en undersökning av kvinnliga supplikanter under 1700-talet och en studie av förändringar i den politiska kulturen kring 1814. Fyra texter behandlar förhållanden i det svenska riket: 1500-talets borgfruar, kvinnliga aktörer på lansbygden 1600-1800, riksrådshustrur på 1600- och 1700-talet och 1700-talets salongskultur och kvinnors politiska aktiviteter där.

    Kvinnors rätt i stormaktstidens Gävle1998Doctoral thesis, monograph (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    The purpose of the present dissertation is to investigate the judicial status of townswomen in 17th- centuiy Sweden. How is the gender system reproduced during this period? Did any decisive changes in gender relations take place, and if so, how should they be understood?

    Both secular and church legislation is studied, along with the deliberations of the legal commission of 1686. The investigation of actual legal practice concentrates on the municipal court of Gävle.

    Differences between town and country as far as inheritance and marital property are concerned in­dicate that the married couple was seen as the central unit in the urban environment, while the male members of the family, particularly those belonging to the paternal line, had greater importance in the countryside.

    Women could be prosecuted for the crimes they committed. In special cases, women were allowed to act as witnesses, and in practice, they were allowed to witness in criminal cases. Unmarried women appeared in salary conflicts and criminal cases, while affluent unmarried women did not appear bef­ore the court.

    Wives were under the legal guardianship of their husbands, but the law gave women the right to en­ter into contracts and appear in court in certain instances. They could buy and sell, enter into debt, hire and dismiss servants. The legal capacity of the wife was dependent upon her husband's. As a rule, affluent wives did not appear in court. The husband administered his wife's property, though her con­sent was required in land transactions.

    Widows "reacted" more often than they acted as far as concerns property. They were prevented from influencing the rules of the economic game in which they were involved. During the 17th cen­tury, affluent widows were increasingly represented by male delegates, which can be explained by the professionalization of the courts. This meant that the women actually seen and heard in court by the end of the century were often destitute and criminal.

    Church orthodoxy implied that the "double standard" was weaker during the 17th-century than it was both before and after. Men as well as women turned to the courts to defend themselves against de­famation of their sexual character.

    Matrimony was the basis for controlling women. It was in their best interests to marry, in order to establish a household, raise children and achieve the status of married woman. Matrimony was im­portant to men, too, in order to make contacts and create a network, acquire property, and establish a household. Marriage was basically hierarchical, though built on an idea of consensus.

    The implements available to the legal system for restraining wife-beating were very blunt. Matri­mony was the responsibility of the church. Here, one spoke rather of the "obligations" a man had tow­ard his wife — who was his own "flesh" — than defined exactly when a man crossed over the boundary of the acceptable. The woman's own actions — fulfilling her marital duties and remaining subordinate to her husband — were also significant for the rulings of the court.

    Matrimony, property and power: marriage settlements in Sweden 1870-19202011In: Scandinavian Journal of History, ISSN 0346-8755, E-ISSN 1502-7716, Vol. 36, no 4, p. 443-461Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This article explores marriage settlements in national political debate and legal usage in three Swedish towns, c. 1870–1920. During this period one of the central issues for the Swedish women's movement was to abolish the legalized male dominance within marriage. Despite some ambiguities towards marriage settlements, the women's movement tried to encourage women to write up contracts before marriage, as a way to both protect their property and to achieve more power within marriage. Traditionally, marriage settlements were exceptions in Swedish legal practice, but they became somewhat more common during the period under investigation. This development could be explained by the population increase and industrialization, but only partially. The analysis of the initiators, their social background and civil status as well as the change of contents in the marriage settlements are interpreted not only as reflections of economic change, but as evidence of female agency and emancipation.

    Negotiating charity: emotions, gender, and poor relief in Sweden at the turn of the 19th century2016In: Scandinavian Journal of History, ISSN 0346-8755, E-ISSN 1502-7716, Vol. 41, no 3, p. 332-349Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This article studies the role of emotions as charity and poor relief expanded in late 18th- and early 19th-century Sweden, with a special focus on how fundraising was expressed in the local media. It was important for the local press to include almsgivers and to mobilize their ability to give when a more well-organized poor relief managed by men of the expanding middle class developed. The needs of the poor and the charity that were described and discussed were almost always dealing with the socalled 'worthy' poor. It was important that the almsgivers gave voluntarily and with joy. This was necessary for both women and men. Furthermore, it was important for both sexes, irrespective of whether the gifts consisted of money or goods, to give from the Christian heart and thought with honesty, tenderness, pity, and consideration. These emotions were expressed within a local community in which the main responsibility for charity and poor relief was local, and in which the local press in this way contributed to shaping an emotional community. Emotions towards the poor were reciprocal, and the so-called unworthy poor, or ungrateful poor, aroused negative emotions. Many of the donors in these cases were anonymously and gender-neutrally described. Class relations were more significant than divisions based on sex.

    Poor girls' schooling and transitions of gender and class2018In: Revisiting gender in European history, 1400-1800 / [ed] Elise M. Dermineur, Åsa Karlsson Sjögren, Virginia Langum, New York and Oxon: Routledge, 2018, p. 78-99Chapter in book (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The only girls who attended schools in late eighteenth-century Sweden were poor, and they went to the same schools as poor boys. From being included in the mixed-sex schools, a shift occurred in early 1800 that saw the establishment of schools specifically for poor girls. This development is investigated in the chapter. The chapter analyzes a process of integration and segregation of the sexes in schools for poor children in order to understand how shifts in conceptions of gender intersected with changing social and economic societal relations of poverty and class. During a formative period when class society developed at the cost of older hierarchies, and when gender was undergoing reconstruction, poor girls played a role. During a few years, when poor girls attended established boys' schools, they challenged the schools in many ways. Poor girls had to be segregated from boys, but not for the same reasons as the middle and upper classes. They should not learn too much, in terms of either practical or theoretical skills. Gender, age and class intersected, to the disadvantage of the poor school girls. The segregation of the sexes led in just a few years to the foundation of specific girls' schools for poor girls. The division of the sexes was never fully established however, and mixed-sex schools were still organized and later on institutionalized in the elementary schools.

    Abstract [en]

    This article examines how the Swedish Taxpayers' Association acted and reacted with regard to the political question of joint or individual taxation in Sweden during the 1960s, addressing how expressions of the taxpayer transformed, how the taxpayer was gendered and how the relationship between state, households and individuals changed. The theoretical and methodological approach is based on Carol Lee Bacchi's use of discourse theory on political issues, focusing on perceptions of gender and taxpaying. Individual taxation was introduced in Sweden in 1971. Through other reforms, such as social security and child care, the Nordic countries laid the foundation for changing the relationships between state and individuals, as well as between the sexes. Previous research has studied different actors who worked for and against the tax reform; however, right-wing organizations are not studied to the same extent as liberal or social democratic organizations. The Swedish Taxpayers' Association is characterized as non-socialist, whose goal was to cut taxes and scrutinize how taxpayers' money was used by state and local governments. In the early 1960s, there was an obvious norm of the taxpayer as male. If married, he was the breadwinner and his wife was not seen an economic subject. If she worked, both the joint taxation and other costs, such as for maids, were put on top of her income. Despite the male norm, the family or the mother were connected to children. When the issue appeared on the political agenda, the information changed and women were now conceivable as both taxpayers and wage earners. However, the male breadwinner norm was still dominant. From now on, the critique focused on the progressive elements in the tax system. The information material had to be revised in 1965, as a reform of voluntary individual taxation was introduced. Especially for families with high double incomes, it now became beneficial to use individual taxation, and thereby the idea of the woman as an individual economic unit developed further. The association accepted the reform of 1970, also due to the needs of the business sector. Conservative arguments concerning family faded away during these years, whereas the norm of the taxpayer was still male.

    Women's voices in Swedish towns and cities at the turn of the Twentieth Century: municipal franchise, polling, eligibility and strategies for universal suffrage2012In: Women's History Review, ISSN 0961-2025, E-ISSN 1747-583X, Vol. 21, no 3, p. 379-398Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This article examines women's polling and eligibility in the municipal elections in Swedish cities and towns in the decades round the 1900 turn of the century. The aim is to present the patterns of suffrage, voting behaviours and representation that emerge from statistics produced by the women's movement and to discuss how these relate to the women's movement's strategies for women's political citizenship and national suffrage. The results are furthermore analysed in comparison with eighteenth-century conditions, when legally competent women who paid taxes could vote in some elections.

    Agents and Subjects: schooling and Conceptions of Citizenship in Nineteenth-Century Sweden2019In: History of Education, ISSN 0046-760X, E-ISSN 1464-5130, Vol. 48, no 3, p. 297-316Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This article aims to analyse how the emerging Swedish school system in the early nineteenth century can be understood within the context of a gradual break-up of the estate society and its replacement with a class society in which citizenship was an important foundation. This is done through the discussion of the conceptions of citizenship on two levels. The first is the national level, focusing the national debate on education, and the second is the local level, investigating the local schools and the school setting. The main result is that the conceptions of citizenship in the school context were formed along two major lines: an inclusive social and civil citizenship and an exclusive, active and political citizenship. Consequently, the emerging Swedish school system simultaneously fostered these two citizenship conceptions, which coexisted in an educational system that was able to cast pupils as either subjects (comprehensive citizenship) or agents (designated citizenship).
