Kvinnans frigörelse på 1800-talet : En analys av Fredrika Bremer-förbundets framställning av kvinnor i tidskriften Dagny

Sammanfattning: This study's purpose is to analyze the Fredrika Bremer-association’s way ofrepresenting women, departing from its own and others’ stories, published byits own magazine Dagny: Månadsblad för sociala och literära intressen during the years 1889, 1894 and 1899. The years picked were when the Fredrika Bremer-association was in sole command of Dagny. The study intends to answer the question on how Fredrika Bremer-association writes and therefore represents their outwardly directed image on women and femininity, based on stories with entertaining purposes and their opinions onother authors' stories that are published in Dagny. The study uses aqualitative text analysis, with selection based on the stories’ content. The content also established seven themes to base the analysis on. The study finds that the image of women, presented by Fredrika Bremer-associations in their magazine Dagny, depending on religious motives is that of a natural subordination to men. They defend women’s rightful freedom, but with the word freedom meaning taking responsibility for their natural tasks as women and therefore stay true to their ideal self.
