Social Democratic Women In Sweden
The Social Democratic Women in Sweden ( sv, Sveriges socialdemokratiska kvinnoförbund ), or "S-women" ( ), is the women's wing of the Swedish Social Democratic Party. It was established in 1920 by representatives from 120 local Social Democratic women’s clubs from all over Sweden. At the time of its foundation, there had been local women's clubs of the Party since the foundation of the '' Stockholms allmänna kvinnoklubb'' in 1892, but there was no national women's club. The most important reason for the funding of a national women’s league was to promote and activate women politically, as well as to acquire access to power and provide a political power base for women. Its chairperson is, since October 2021, Annika Strandhäll. Chairpersons * Signe Vessman, 1920–1936 * Disa Västberg, 1936–1952 * Inga Thorsson, 1952–1964 * Lisa Mattson, 1964–1981 * Maj-Lis Lööw, 1981–1990 *Margareta Winberg, 1990–1995 * Inger Segelström, 1995–2003 *Nalin Pekgul, 2003–2011 ...

The 19th (nineteenth) century began on 1 January 1801 ( MDCCCI), and ended on 31 December 1900 ( MCM). The 19th century was the ninth century of the 2nd millennium.
