- Description
- Analyses of the ideas of the Swedish journalist, feminist and literary author Elin Wägner (1882–1949) in a European feminist context, which is presented in terms of three elements. Firstly, German Mathilde Vaerting and her sociology of power were important for Wägner’s theory of matriarchy. Secondly, the influence of Austrian Rosa Mayreder and her theory of masculine civilization and feminine culture are analyzed in relation to Wägner's development of what might be called an early ecological feminism. Thirdly, the Women's Organization for World Order (WOWO) is presented.
