Structures and Agency
This article is a transnational comparison of the struggle for women's suffrage during the long 19th century, mainly around 1900, with an emphasis on the five Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden). The article questions the widespread notion of these countries as similar democratic and peaceful nations, different from the rest of Europe. It points to the timing of women's suffrage and to how the claim for this reform cha…

Attention is also drawn to the first conferences in Bellagio, Madrid, Bielefeld and Montreal, as well as to …
How to have healthy children
This paper focuses on initiatives to improve infant health, as they developed in Norway especially during the interwar period. Falling birth rates were felt as a menace to the survival of the nation and specific initiatives were taken to oppose it. But crises engendered by the reduction in fertility strengthened opportunities for introducing policies to help the fewer children born survive and grow up to become healthy citizens. Legislation suppo…
To Women in the Year 2000’
The lives and writings of three women who during the first half of the twentieth century wrote books on women's history are the subject of this article. Ragna Nielsen, a teacher and an amateur historian, in 1904 published her account of women's lives during the first part of the nineteenth century, stressing the sad consequences of patriarchal attitudes, but also the importance of women's contribution to the maintenance of a national identity. An…
From Coercive Policies to Voluntary Initiatives
During the twentieth century Danish policies to prevent venereal diseases (VD) were characterized by coercive measures targeting all citizens and formulated in a gender neutral language. Voluntary individual initiatives were only during the 1970s and 1980s accepted as the best means to curb these diseases. This paper analyses debates in the Danish parliament on legislation between 1906 and 1988 to prevent VD, exploring when and why provisions shi…
From regulationism to the ‘Scandinavian Sonderweg ’
In this article I discuss the dilemma between coercion and respect for civil liberties that characterized policies for the prevention of venereal diseases during the nineteenth century. Placing Danish legislation in an international perspective, the gradual change from control of prostitution to the so-called Scandinavian Sonderweg is analysed. Special emphasis is given to parliamentary discussions on the law of 1906, with a view to disentangling…

Widows, widowers and the construction of the Norwegian welfare society, c. 1900-1960s
The paper analyses the gradual changes in assistance offered to widows and widowers between 1900 and 1964. It highlights the conflicts between the principle of the family as provider of welfare and the principle of self-help embodied in poor relief, in varying municipal pensions during the inter-war period and in the right to economic assistance legitimised through the Mothers' and Widows' Pension Act in 1964. The development is seen as part of t…

A History of Contraception
Global historia i dekonstruktionens tid
Historikernas analyser bekräftar postmodernistiska kultu rkritikers uppfattning att kultur är en serie konflikter om synsätt, där klass, kön och ras kan skapa gränslinjer. När är det könsidentiteten och när är det klass, hudfärg eller nationell identitet som blir utmanade och därmed leder till handling och historisk förändring? En sådan frågeställning har implicit legat till grund för arbetet med den globala kvinnohistorien

The History of Widowhood
Historical research on widowhood in the United States and in Europe, with an emphasis on the period from the eighteenth to the twentieth centuries, is still in its infancy. So far certain general perspectives in the changing demographic, economic, and cultural aspects of widowhood have been outlined, and a multitude of cross-cultural variations from the general patterns have also been found. This, as well as the fact that gender-specific conseque…
