Klara Lindh (original) (raw)

Klara Augusta Bernhardina Lindh née Hemberg (1877–1914) was a pioneering Swedish suffragist who coordinated the publication of a series of articles written by women interested in women's suffrage under the auspices of the National Association for Women's Suffrage (LKPR) in which she was a member of the central board. She also wrote a number of articles on the topic herself. As a result of her commitment, she became the driving force in the suffrage association in Gävle, a large city to the north of Stockholm. She died at the early age of 37 after undergoing an operation, five years before Swedish women obtained the right to vote.
