En tidskrift, ett decennium : en begreppshistorisk analys om den kvinnoemancipatoriska Tidskrift för hemmet och framväxten av dess rättighetsdiskurs

Sammanfattning: This bachelor thesis’ ambition is to unravel the rights discourse in the first female emancipatory journal in Sweden during the journal’s first decade 1859-1869. The Swe-dish female rights movement is during this time period unorganized and hence Tidskrift för hemmet became the first forum where a female emancipatory debate took place. By using a conceptual history analysis with philological elements, together with Joan W Scott’s theory of gender as a factor in power structures, the thesis examine the context, and the evolution of their arguments and concept usage, during the decade. The study will reveal the rights discourse that was shaped and used in the 19th century in Sweden's first female emancipatory forum.
