Klara Lindh
Klara Augusta Bernhardina Lindh née Hemberg (1877–1914) was a pioneering Swedish suffragist who coordinated the publication of a series of articles written by women interested in women's suffrage under the auspices of the National Association for Women's Suffrage (LKPR) in which she was a member of the central board.

She died at the early age of 37 after undergoing an operation, five years before Swedish women obtained the right to vote.

She was the youngest of the family's three children. She was brought up in a well-to-do business family in central Stockholm. When 16, she studied bookkeeping at Fra ...

Suffragist
Suffrage, political franchise, or simply franchise, is the right to vote in public, political elections and referendums (although the term is sometimes used for any right to vote). In some languages, and occasionally in English, the right to vote is called active suffrage, as distinct from passive suffrage, which is the right to stand for election. The combination of active and passive suffrage is sometimes called ''full suffrage''. In most democracies, eligible voters can vote in elections of representatives. Voting on issues by referendum may also be available. For example, in Switzerland, this is permitted at all levels of government. In the United States, some states such as California, Washington, and Wisconsin have exercised their shared sovereignty to offer citizens the opportunity to write, propose, and vote on referendums; other states and the federal government have not. Referendums in the United Kingdom are rare. Suffrage is granted to everybody mentally capable, i ...
