Svenska kvinnors internationella arbete under 1900-talet — en alternativ offentlighet?

Abstract

This article outlines a planned research project concerning Swedish women in international politics. We are guided by the notion that international organisations and embassies can be understood as an alternative public arena for Swedish feminists. Using MP Cecila Nettelbrandt as an example, we wanted to show that troublesome politicians could be sent away from domestic politics and that Nettelbrandt in her turn used the international feminist co-operation and her commission as an ambassador as an alternative public arena.
