Bertha Harriet Nordenson (1857–1928) was a devoted Swedish women's rights activist and suffragist. From the late 1880s, she supported women's emancipation, becoming a member and later a board member of the Married Woman's Property Rights Association (Föreningen för gift kvinnas äganderätt). When it was incorporated into the Fredrika Bremer Association (Fredrika Bremer Förbundet), Nordenson joined the standing committee on the legal position of women and was later elected to the board. As a result, she also became a significant contributor to the National Council of Swedish Women (Svenska kvinnors nationalförbund). Taking an active interest in medical care, from 1908 she chaired Föreningen för sjukvård i fattiga hem (Society for Home Medical Care for the Poor). For her extensive services to the Swedish Red Cross, she was awarded the gold medal.[1][2][3]
