Gothenburg Women's Map has marked out 100 women who have lived or worked in Gothenburg on a digital map. This exhibition, in collaboration with KvinnSam, highlights seven of these women and organizations. Several of them have archive collections at KvinnSam or the Manuscript Department at Gothenburg University Library. This exhibition is only available in Swedish.
The women featured in the exhibition are:
Emma Jacobsson - Philanthropist and founder of Bohus Stickning
Frigga Carlberg - Social worker, suffragist, and author
Ingrid Segerstedt Wiberg - Journalist, politician, and peace and human rights activist
Åsa Nelvin – Author
Maj Britt Theorin – Politician and peace activist
Sophie Elkan – Author
The founders of KvinnSam – Asta Ekenvall, Rosa Malmström, and Eva Pineus
The Gothenburg Women's Map was created by editor Anette Carlsson and writers Neta Norrmo, Ingela Eek, Kerstin Keen, Brittmo Bernhardsson, and Marie Hjalmarsson Engelke. With this map, you can take a walk through Gothenburg and learn more about the women of the city. Or perhaps you are in a particular place and want to know more about a woman who has a connection to that place. 100 women from all walks of life, politics, music, beer brewing, social work, and more. 100 women who have left their mark and influenced history.
