"I am a history geek who since 2016, alongside work in civil society, has written daily about historical women, their fates and stories on Instagram and Twitter on the account Kvinnohistoria . Women, from all over the world, from all times, who have been more or less forgotten and hidden in the writing of history IKF's activities inspire me and make me even more convinced of the importance of highlighting women, strong and weak, in the same way lifts up IKF women and makes our city a city where the whole population gets a place."
