Kristina Borg

Kristina Borg (1899)

Kristina Borg née Jönsdotter (1844–1928) was a Swedish newspaper publisher, suffragist and peace activist who became prominent in Helsingborg in the early 20th century. In 1869, she married Fredrik Borg, the editor of Öresundsposten, a daily newspaper published in the city. When her husband died in 1895, she acquired the newspaper, becoming its publisher in 1913. In addition to considerable success with the paper, Borg chaired the Helsingborg branch of the National Association for Women’s Suffrage and was also on the board of the national organization. An early proponent of the peace movement, she was a member of Sveriges Kvinnliga Fredsförening, the women's peace movement. She was one of two Swedish delegates to attend the 1906 peace congress in Milan.[1][2][3]
