Previous research into the Swedish women’s suffrage movement has identified various argumentative approaches that the women used to turn public opinion in their favour, one of them being maternalism, which was mainly based on the view that women and men possessed different characteristics which were suitable for separate political areas - the home, children, care, and social welfare being examples of areas which were seen as especially fitting for women. This paper investigates whether the content of the periodical Tidevarvet, which was founded and run by women, contained maternalism by analysing issues from the years 1924 and 1928. While not associated with any political party, Tidevarvet was nonetheless a platform used to spread a radical liberal agenda, with an issue being released once a week. By employing a directed content analysis, this study uses a coding scheme to analyse the source material and fails to identify any indications of maternalism in Tidevarvet. The findings reveal that the writers behind Tidevarvet both questioned and challenged inequalities between men and women, as well as regularly promoted the view that political issues should not be tied to gender, but rather be treated as the shared responsibility of both genders.
