Frontmatter -- Contents -- List of Figures and Tables -- List of Abbreviations -- List of Swedish Terms -- Acknowledgements -- Introduction Funding Women’s Political Struggle – a Matter of Gender and Class? -- 1 The Fredrika Bremer Association 1884–1925 -- 2 A ‘Bourgeois’ Pioneer’s Purse -- 3 Human Resources in the Fredrika Bremer Association -- 4 Social Democratic Women -- 5 The Price of Turning Women into Socialists -- 6 Human Resources in Social Democratic Women’s Organizations -- Bibliography -- Index
Summary: As economic citizenship was a pre-condition of full citizenship, the lack of economic autonomy was an important motivation during the early stages of the women’s movement. Independent of their class background, women had less access to not only financial resources but also social and cultural capital, i.e., member’s commitment. Resources are therefore of particular interest from a gender perspective, and this book sheds light on the importance of resources for women’s struggles for political rights. Highlighting the financial strategies of the first wave of Swedish middle-class and socialist women’s movements and comparing them with similar organizations in Germany, England, and Canada, the authors show the importance of class, gender, age, and the national context, offering a valuable contribution to the discussion of resource mobilization theories in the context of social movements.
