Rest, Festivities, Flowers, and Shoes : A gender-theoretical analysis of Värnamo's White Ribbon activists' efforts during the 1930s and who was encompassed by these efforts (English)
Abstract [en]

The aim of this study is to study the philanthropic work and activities of the local association of the women's movement of Vita Bandet (WCTU) Värnamo, Sweden during the 1930s, to be able to discuss the gender norms advocated by the members of the movement through their efforts in the local community. The following two research questions support the study:

  • What activities and initiatives can be discerned from the meeting and annual meeting minutes of Vita Bandet members from 1930 to 1939? 
  • Which societal groups in the city were affected by the activities and efforts of Vita Bandet members from 1930–1939?
  • Which gender order is expressed in the activities and work of the white bandits, as well as in relation to who is covered by the efforts?

The study unveils Vita Bandet’s diverse social roles, including support of companionship for the elderly, women and children, and fostering social interactions for the public. Vita Bandet Värnamo's did play a role in reproducing gender norms in the local community through their efforts, emphasizing care, thoughtfulness, morality, and sobriety. Vitally, the members from Vita Bandet Värnamo transferred these norms to the new generation of women through the community-focused initiatives.
