Abstract:
<p>The purpose of this essay is to examine how Elin Wägner depicts the middle-aged woman who lives in the country in Sweden, in the 1920’s. The question at issue is: What problems and what subjects for rejoicing does she raise? My aim is to try to understand the women’s situation, as well as how Elin Wägner describes the situation in her four novels from the 1920’s: <em>Den namnlösa</em> (1922),<em> Silverforsen</em> (1924), <em>Natten till söndag</em> (1926) och <em>Svalorna flyga högt</em> (1929). At the same time I intend to compare the woman of the 1920’s to the situation of women today.</p><p>I am writing from a feministic literary theory called “omläsning” according to the description of Gunilla Domellöf. In other words, a re-reading of the text with new eyes, in order to let the view of the woman become more visible. The method I have used is Hans Robert Jauss’ “Rezeptionsästhetik”.</p><p>I came to the conclusion that the novels describe the reality in a plain way, possibly somewhat coloured by Elin Wägner’s feministic starting point. She is commited to the public debate on problems of modern society as well as very familiar with the woman question. Her main themes are love, marriage, divorce and self-realization.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Keywords: Elin Wägner, woman, the 1920’s, the church, love, marriage, divorce, feminism</p>

Abstract:
<p>Avhandlingen, som undersökt Elin Wägners skönlitterära författarskap och journalistik under 1920-talet, visar att det är då hon stiger fram som en internationell rörelseintellektuell. Då formulerar hon sina åsikter om hur världen bör styras och hur kvinnor och män skall agera för att nå jämställdhet och fred, frågor som kom att stå i fokus för hennes liv och fortsatta författarskap. Det är med hjälp av internationell forskning och litteratur som Wägner blottlägger förhållandena i Sverige och påverkar den svenska debatten.Som introduktör av tänkare som Rosa Mayreder, Mathilde Vaerting och Mary Parker Follett kunde hon avslöja det korstryck som svenska kvinnor var utsatta för och samtidigt presentera ett eget koncet om en möjlig framtid för kvinnor och män. I avhandlingen har den första mer systematska analysen av Wägners insatser i veckotidningen Tidevarvet under åren 1923-1930 genomförts. Här framträder Wägner i många skepnader som kåsör, ledarskribent, recensent och utrikeskorrespondent men alltid med syftet att påverka läsaren i viss riktning. Med sina tre K:teman: kvinnan, kärleken och kriget speglar hon verkligheten utifrån två perspektiv, ett kortsiktigt pessimistiskt och ett längre optimmistiskt perspektiv.Det är i Tidevarvet som hon presenterar sin radikalpacifism och visarsitt starka beroende och inflytande av Gandhi och hans icke-våldsaktivism.Avhandlingens andra del behandlar Wägners 1920-talsromaner, vilka ofta benämnts som smålandsromaner men som i avhandlingen räknas som utvecklingsromaner om den medelålders kvinnans rätt till livsutrymme och sexualitet. Istället för att betrakta protagonisterna som offer, vilket ofta skett i tidigare forskning, visar avhandlingen att de istället agerar som visionära feminister med starka personligheter och tydliga livsmål. Det ärockså under tjugotalet som Wägner bekänner sig som kristen och närmar sig kväkarna, men engagerar sig även i den svenska kyrkan. Hon granskar prästernas dubbelmoral och förljugna inställning till äktenskap och skilsmässa både i sina romaner och i Tidevarvet. Dock är hon mest kritisk till att kyrkan inte på allvar driver fredens sak.Wägner är inte bara radikal i sin tid utan såg även vilka idéer och personer som tillhörde framtiden och framstår därför som både tidstypisk och tidlös.</p><br><p>Elin Wägner and her literary activities in the 1920s have not been a main interest for literary research. Instead, her writings from earlier or later decades are studied at length. Nevertheless, my dissertation indicates that it was during this decade several of her important projects in life and literature took place. The main purpose of the study is to present Wägner’s influence in the Swedish debate in a number of issues as feminism, pacifism and internationalism.</p><p>My point of departure is Wägners journalistic authorship in the radical weekly <i>Tidevarvet</i> (1923-1930) and her novels <i>Den Namnlösa</i> (1922), <i>Silverforsen</i> (1924), <i>Natten till söndag</i> (1926), <i>Svalorna flyga högt</i> (1929) and <i>Från Seine, Rhen och Ruhr</i> (1923), a collection of short stories. Using the concept <i>movement intellectual</i>, which has been further developed in the dissertation, the study indicates that Wägner, mostly with ideas and results from abroad, managed to influence both her organizations, their members and the general public. Her methods were three: writing, speaking and mobilization, and the arena was her fiction, her journalism and her networks. The intentions were much the same in all her activities.</p><p>Wägner’s international work for peace in the war-torn Europe during the first part of the decade changed her and her outlook on war and peace. She became a radical pacifist and negotiated on behalf of organizations as the Quakers, the Red Cross and WILP, Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom. Her devotion for peace is specially evident in <i>Tidevarvet</i>, the political weekly founded by FKR, Frisinnade Kvinnors Riksförbund, in 1923, where Wägner was active both as a writer and an editor. Here the influence from Gandhi and the Quakers is prominent, and Wägner tries all her life to introduce Gandhi to the Swedish public. </p><p>In the 1920s Elin Wägner also started her studies of matriarcy and her research of women’s history where the influence from international feminists as Rosa Mayreder, Mathilde Varting and Mary Parker Follett gave her arguments to strengthen women’s position and confidence both as women and as political citizens. At Fogelstad and Kvinnliga Medborgarskolan, Wägner, together with the other members in the Fogelstad Group, were active educating women for their new citizenship. As members in FKR also worked to get seats in the Parliament, but failed. My study shows why.</p>

Full text
Abstract:
Studien är en analys av Elin Wägners Norrtullsligan (1908) och Pennskaftet (1910) ur ett rumsligt perspektiv, med inriktning på genus. Syftet är att fördjupa läsningen av romanerna samt relatera dem till sin tids- och samhällskontext. Romanerna utspelar sig i medelklassmiljöer i Stockholm under tidigt 1900-tal, och handlar om kvinnor som omformulerar sina roller ochengagerar sig i bättre villkor. De centrala frågorna är: Hur gestaltas, representeras och diskuteras rum och stad i romanerna? Vilka rum använder karaktärerna och hur använder de dem? Den teoretiska utgångpunkten är att kombinera litteraturvetenskap med rumsteori, inspirerad av Alexandra Borgs avhandling En vildmark av sten (2011). Rummet uppfattas som en social produkt, med hjälp av begrepp från Henri Lefevbre. Studien relaterar till de tidigare analyser av Wägners romaner som gjorts med feministiska eller rumsliga förtecken. Studien visar att rummen skildras ur romanernas tydligt kvinnligt subjektiva perspektiv. Kvinnorna lever under alternativa bostadsformer men erkänner inte dessa bostäder som hem. De anser sig behöva en man för att legitimera hemmet. Vidare är kvinnornas tillvaro i de offentligastadsrummen sexualiserad och i romanerna hanterar kvinnorna detta genom att ge sig in i en identitetsmaskerad, där de genom att utge sig vara omoraliska skapar sig frihet. Studien diskuterar också arbetsplatser och rum för politisk verksamhet i romanerna.

Collin, Ellen. "Systerskap i Elin Wägners Pennskaftet : En studie av systerskapet och kvinnlig solidaritet, med återkoppling till Norrtullsligan." Thesis, Stockholms universitet, Institutionen för kultur och estetik, 2014. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:su:diva-152036.

Full text
Abstract:
I Pennskaftet utformar kvinnorna ett systerskap när de känner sig solidariska med sitt kön. Utan systerskap skulle inte rösträttsarbetet kunna utföras. Flera av kvinnorna i romanen visar en solidaritet både till de kvinnor som följer normer och de som är normbrytande. I frågan om kvinnlig rösträtt uppstår ett ”vi” och ”de andra”, vilket medför en begränsning för systerskapet. Detta sker även inom familjen och när kvinnor från skilda samhällsklasser möts. Kvinnosolidariteten blir lidande när kvinnor från olika samhällsklasser har svårt att känna en samhörighet. Bevisligen finns en frånvaro av systerskap i Pennskaftet. Men när de två huvudkaraktärerna, Pennskaftet och Cecilia, interagerar blir en kvinnlig solidaritet ytterst framträdande. I Pennskaftet utbildas några män till att lära sig mer om kvinnor och rösträtten och de blir en tillgång. Till skillnad från Norrtullsligan där männen ses som det största hindret för kvinnor att uppnå riktig systerskap. Kvinnorna sviker varandra för männens skull och systerskapet blir bortvalt då kvinnorna hellre fokuserar på att träffa en make. I Norrtullsligan är det frånvaron av systerskapet som är som mest påtagligt, vilket medför begränsningar för kvinnorna i romanen. Trots att kvinnorna möts i en gemenskap med sin dåliga ekonomi, och på grund av det anordnar en strejk, så misslyckas strejken då några av kvinnorna bestämmer sig för att dra sig ur och inte ställa upp för sina medsystrar. Frånvaron av systerskapet är markant. För systerskapet i Pennskaftet är männen till kvinnornas fördel, medan männen i Norrtullsligan blir en nackdel.

Doctoral thesis, Stockholms universitet, Institutionen för kultur och estetik, 2016. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:su:diva-130225.

Full text
Abstract:
This dissertation investigates the way that feminist resistance is expressed in two Swedish and two German so-called New Woman novels from the turn of the twentieth century: Elin Wägner’s Pennskaftet (1910, Penwoman), Gabriele Reuter’s Aus guter Familie (1895, From a Good Family), Hilma Angered-Strandberg’s Lydia Vik (1904), and Grete Meisel-Hess’s Die Intellektuellen (1911). The theoretical apparatus is comprised by the work of Michel Foucault, Judith Butler, Jacques Lacan, and Jessica Benjamin. By introducing a psychoanalytic and feminist perspective, this dissertation seeks to develop the possibilities for agency and resistance within the framework of Foucault’s theories. It investigates four textual and contextually grounded strategies of resistance that are prominent in these novels: individuality, openness, desire, and eugenics. This study demonstrates how Gabriele Reuter, Grete Meisel-Hess, and  Hilma Angered-Strandberg, inspired by the ideas of Friedrich Nietzsche and Ellen Key, depict feminine individuality in relation to a scientific and philosophical discourse that specifically denied women individuality. The authors anchor individuality in a corporality that was similarly denied to women by a bourgeois and dogmatic Christian discourse. Openness and wit function as resistance strategies in Elin Wägner’s Pennskaftet. Humorous rejoinders and narrative comments can disarm a conservative. An open attitude towards the emancipation project could also help to resolve the conflicts between different feminist positions and between different women. Desire functions as an important resistance strategy in each of the novels examined. It is variously represented as a vital instinct, a desire for knowledge, and a sexual desire, as in Gabriele Reuter’s Aus guter Familie – or as a desire for suffrage, as in Pennskaftet, or for maternity legislation, as in Grete Meisel-Hess’s Die Intellektuellen. By formulating a notion of feminine desire, turn-of-the-century feminists were able both to seize control of sexuality from the church and to wrest morality from the grasp of the bourgeoisie. These resistance strategies could also have a biopolitical character: in Grete Meisel-Hess’s Die Intellektuellen, woman is placed at the service of humanity on eugenicist grounds, and her good qualities are seen as capable of promoting humanity’s progress. This dissertation shows that in these novels desire at the individual level serves to reinforce feminine subjectivity. Love is seen as associated with an intensified sense of life and as a precondition of creativity. At the social level, desire also functions as the basis for a feeling of solidarity among women that instils in them courage and an urge to persevere in the suffrage struggle, this latter a highly protracted process. In this way desire acquires political potential. A framing chapter on context provides the intellectual and philosophical backgrounds of the various strategies of resistance. It is followed by four analytical chapters, each of which addresses one novel.

Abstract:
Ce travail se veut une analyse sociohistorique sur la Suède de la période 1910-1940, utilisant l’approche de Pierre Bourdieu suivant les concepts de champ, habitus et rapports de domination. Nous étudions une sélection d’œuvres littéraires et articles de journaux rédigés par Maria Sandel (1870-1927), Moa Martinson (1890-1964), Ellen Key (1849-1926) et Elin Wägner (1882-1949). Les deux premières écrivaines sont issues du courant dit du roman prolétarien, les deux dernières appartiennent aux classes supérieures de la société. Nous nous intéressons tout d’abord à quatre thèmes : les femmes et leur corps, les femmes et le syndicalisme, la femme face à l’alcoolisme, la femme et le pacifisme. Les écrits du journaliste anarchiste Hinke Bergegren (1861-1936) viennent à l’appui de notre première partie. Une cinquième partie traite de la renommée internationale d’Ellen Key et Elin Wägner, dont nous montrons le côté novateur et toujours actuel de leurs écrits. Le rayonnement international de la Suède sera analysé au travers des écrits d’Ellen Key sur l’amour, l’éducation, la décoration et le pacifisme. Nous voyons le pacifisme d’Elin Wägner déboucher sur une réflexion écologique d’ensemble<br>Our purpose with this work is to do a socio-historical study of Sweden between 1910 and 1940 , using the writings of four female writers. As theoretical frame for this research, we use Pierre Bourdieu’s concepts of field, habitus and dominance relationships. Our material consists in fiction, essays and press articles written by four women : Maria Sandel (1870-1927), Moa Martinson (1890-1964), Ellen Key (1849-1926) and Elin Wägner (1882-1949). The first two writers belong to the literary current of proletarian literature ; they are self-taught women from the working-class. Ellen Key and Elin Wägner belong to the middle and upper classes of society. We focus our analysis on four themes these writers have in common : women and their bodies, women and unionism, women and alcoholism, women and pacifism. We further interest ourselves to the anarchist newspaperman Hinke Bergegren (1861-1936), whose articles regarding birth control connect with our first chapter. This study then deals in a fifth chapter with the reasons for the international renown of Ellen Key and Elin Wägner, with emphasis on the modernity and the visionary quality of their writings. Ellen Key had progressive ideas regarding love, education, decoration and pacifism, which received world-wide audience. Elin Wägner was a pioneer in ecological thinking, linking a deliberately respectful use of earth’s resources to lasting peace. With their writings, both women contributed to the international influence of Sweden

Thesis, Södertörn University College, School of Gender, Culture and History, 2008. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:sh:diva-1819.

Full text
Abstract:
<p>Ulla Isaksson (1916 – 2000) wrote many novels, often with a woman or several women as protagonists. In <em>Dit du icke vill</em> (“Where Thou Willst Not”) from 1956 she depicts a crisis of faith in a woman, which would not have been successful had she chosen a contemporary setting. She uses an adequate historical framework, the prosecution of witches in Sweden in the 17<sup>th</sup> century, well documented in reliable sources. Her novel includes a message about oppression of women, manifest in patriarchal ambition to control ancient wisdom about healing and herbs and the denial of pre-Christian habits that include knowledge about female fertility, earlier exercised by midwives and wise women and men.</p><p>In “The Root of Evil” the novel is placed in a feminist tradition, where the author, like older writers like Fredrika Bremer, Ellen Key and Elin Wägner, pleads for “social mothering”.  A major difference is that, in her own life, Ulla Isaksson has experienced pregnancy, giving birth and breastfeeding which none of the pioneering Swedish feminist writers had. Emilia Fogelklou, pioneering theologian, wrote about witches as wise women, a study that influenced Ulla Isaksson. The witches are described as mirroring Hanna “the Good Mother”. Their fantasies about life at “Blåkulla” are similar to the everyday life at a wealthy farmstead. This kind of mirroring reminds of the theories of Gilbert and Gubar, who assume that female writers in the 19<sup>th</sup> Century hid their revolt against patriarchy in mad women, like “The Madwoman in the Attic” in Jane Eyre. In the 1950s, golden age of the Swedish housewife, a female writer might well hide her anger at the circumscribed role model dedicated to women in a similar use of Anti-Women. The real witches clearly contrast the obedient protagonist, a true “Angel in the house”.</p><p>The villagers´ struggle to clear the ground from the ensnaring roots that hinder the male prosecution of witches imply a symbolic reading: this evil root is ancient matriarchal knowledge of childbearing and birth control. A theory on the original causes for the witch hunts in western Europe is introduced: the population sank in the 15<sup>th</sup> century and one reason, beside plagues, starvation and warfare, was that women aware of how to prevent childbearing and giving birth to a lot of children were killed during the witch hunt. Churches and kings introduced the prosecution of witches and wise women, including midwives.</p>

Full text
Abstract:
In this thesis the Swedish author Elin Wägner’s debate book Alarm clock and the American author Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s novel Herland are analysed and compared from an ecofeminist perspective. Since the use of an ecofeminist perspective can be perceived as anachronistic as the term ecofeminism was drafted far later than the literary works in question I have chosen to distinguish between empirical and analytical concepts to approach their texts. In order to interpret their texts in their intellectual and historical contexts, concepts such as ecofeminism, matriarchy, utopia, vision and science have been of significance. This as the authors’ theoretical approaches in matriarchal theories, utopic perception, vision and science shaped their literary point of departure. The sociologist Lester Frank Ward’s theories on social planning had a huge impact on Gilman’s ideas as had the influence of the Darwinian movement focusing on evolution and eugenic, theories that at the time around the turn of the 19th century influenced social science, history and psychology. Elin Wägner found her inspiration in works by Johan Jakob Bachofen, Rosa Mayreder and Mathilde Vaerting, anchored in the Central European literacy discourse of her time; ideas significant for her civilization-critical thinking focusing on the relationship between women’s subordination and the environment, where the ruling of the earth is understood by the same logic that drives men’s dominion over women. Wägner and Gilman follows a line in the eco-feminist theorem, based on the statement that women are more responsive than men to nature and environmental issues, a biological determinism, conceptual essentialism and universalism, based on women’s different experiences in a gender society.
