Emma Isakson, signed portrait (1930)

Emma Josefina Isakson (1880–1952) was a Swedish newspaper publisher and suffragist who is remembered for her activity in Luleå at a time when few women gained positions of influence. From the age of 17, she worked for the daily newspaper Norbottens-Kuriren which she headed from 1945. She was also active in women's rights, acting as treasurer for the Luleå branch of the National Association for Women's Suffrage (LKPR) from its inception at the turn of the century.[1][2][3]
