WOMEN IN PARLIAMENT
With a view to the forthcoming Parliamentary elections, 27 politically neutral women’s organisations in Sweden convened a well attended mass meeting in Stockliom, in order to impress public opinion with the necessity of women’s increased representation in the Riksdag. In a resolution unanimously adopted by the meeting, an urgent appeal was made to women voters to take their full share in political work, especially in the election campaign, side by side with men. Leaders of political parties were asked “to meet with understanding the endeavours to increase the number of women M.P.’s and to see that the names of women candidates figure in greater number, and in better places than hitherto, on the election lists of the various parties.”
