 Sophie Adlersparre is perhaps best known as the founder of the Fredrika Bremer Association ("Fredrika-Bremer-Förbundet", FBF) in 1884, the first women's rights organisation in Sweden, named for feminist author Fredrika Bremer.Formally, the women's rights supporter Hans Hildebrand was made the official chair of the FBF, because Adlersparre believed that it would be taken more seriously if it was headed by a man.However, Adlersparre acted as the de facto chairperson until her death in 1895, when she was succeeded by Agda Montelius.
