First female member of Parliament, Anna Rogstad, April 1911
Front cover of the Sphere showing Anna Rogstad the first female member of Parliament in the world as she takes her place in the Nowegian Storting. Rogstad was formerly a high-profile teacher who went on to significantly influence Norways educational policy, an active member of the Norwegian Teachers Union, and one of the founding members of the Association for Womens Suffrage. The Sphere comments on the extension of the franchise to women in 1907, which also allowed for Rogstads election, as having not " upest the equilibrium of Norwegian politics", as well as conveying the somewhat surprised reaction of the male members of the assembly. Date: 1911
