| This article deals with six Swedish suffragists who belonged to an informal network in the Swedish Suffrage Organization and who corresponded over the twenty years that the struggle for the vote took, from 1902 to 1921. The analysis takes place on two levels; on the one hand, it deals with the women's description of their emotional experience, and on the other, with how these feelings were constructed and used in political propaganda as a kind of 'capital'—in demonstrations, public meetings or festive occasions. The suffragists on the barricades lived at a time of much drama and many tensions and the period generated powerful feelings that could be utilized in the campaign for the vote. The theoretical framework is Randall Collins's model of 'interaction rituals' where he argues that feelings are of great importance for social movements in particular. | |
