Sara Backman Prytz: The Kingdom of Women

Free admission

Information at the organizer

The researcher, teacher, and author Sara Backman Prytz places all the bustling women’s historical research in its large context and depicts what it has meant to be a woman in Sweden over the past thousand years.

Welcome to a lecture with free entry at Östergötlands museum!

 

Of course, women have shaped Sweden just as much as men – only that their contributions have often not made it into the history books.

But if we turn it around and consider all the areas where women have worked – the monasteries, schools, associations, industries, salons, hospitals, farms, and offices, not to mention the homes – we realize that we have lived in the midst of a true Women’s Kingdom.

Sara Backman Prytz, researcher at Uppsala University, talks about her book Kvinnoriket – the history of women in Sweden over a thousand years.

The event is conducted in cooperation between Östergötlands museum and Forum for Gender Studies and Equality at Linköping University.
