Women in Battle

Kvinner i kamp. 150 års kamp for frihet, likhet og søsterskap

150 years ago, women and men led very different lives. Women could not vote or make their own money. They had no control over their own bodies.
A woman’s father would make her decisions until she was married. Then her husband would take over.

This changed when women began to organize. In this book writer Marta Breen and illustrator Jenny Jordahl tells the story about the women’s movements many dramatic battles.
