Abstract
In 1921, after a long struggle for the right to vote, Swedish women voted in general elections for the first time. This article analyzes how election posters between 1921 and 1936 addressed and represented women. There were four types of posters. The most frequent type
was posters on which all political citizens were portrayed as men. The second type represented women as citizens with a special mission to save the home and children. In anothertype of poster women were represented as weak and in need of help from a stronger man. In the fourth type of posterwomen and men were portrayed as equals with the same status as citizens.
