"I am a history nerd who since 2016, in addition to working in civil society, on a daily basis been writing about historical women, their fates and stories on Instagram and Twitter on the account Kvinnohistoria. Women, from all over the world, from all ages, who have been more or less forgotten. IKF's activities inspire me and make me even more convinced of the importance of highlighting women, strong and weak, to bring out the whole story. In the same way, IKF elevates women and makes our city a city where the whole population gets a place to be. "
