Danish Women's Society

Julie Arenholt and Gyrithe Lemche in 1922. Both headed the Danish Women's Society.

The Danish Women's Society or DWS (Danish: Dansk Kvindesamfund) is Denmark's oldest women's rights organization. It was founded in 1871 by activist Matilde Bajer and her husband Fredrik Bajer; Fredrik was a Member of Parliament and the 1908 Nobel Peace Prize laureate. The association stands for an inclusive, intersectional and progressive liberal feminism, and advocates for the rights of all women and girls and LGBT rights.[1] It publishes the world's oldest women's magazine, Kvinden & Samfundet (Woman and Society), established in 1885.[2][3] The Danish Women's Society is a member of the International Alliance of Women and is a sister association of the Norwegian Association for Women's Rights and the Icelandic Women's Rights Association.
