In 1904, she became the first working-class woman to sit on a Danish government commission, which was charged with reexamining the 1854 Tyendeloven (Servants Law). Christensen was also active in the women's suffrage movement, playing a significant role in ensuring that the vote was also extended to servants. She sat on the Copenhagen municipal council between 1917 and 1921, as a member of the Social Democrats. Trade union and labour activism Christensen was a maid.

Peter Adler Alberti
Peter Adler Alberti (10 June 1851 – 14 June 1932) was a Danish politician and swindler, known for the Alberti scandal of 1908. Career Alberti was a solicitor, the son of a liberal politician who had been a pioneer of the Danish savings bank system. The family background led to his own career as the leader of '' Den sjællandske Bondestands Sparekasse'' from 1890 but very early he was also involved in speculations and doubtful economic transactions partly due to his ludomania. Later on, it has become clear that he had been guilty of severe embezzlement from a very early stage. Perhaps in order to neutralise further attacks, he entered politics in 1892 representing the right wing of the liberal movement. However, he joined the united Venstre Reform Party in 1895, making himself the right hand of J. C. Christensen. From 1901 to 1908, Alberti was the first Venstre justice minister. During this period he was subjected to harder and harder accusations of economic dishonesty by ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

People From Frederiksværk
The term "the people" refers to the public or Common people, common mass of people of a polity. As such it is a concept of human rights law, international law as well as constitutional law, particularly used for claims of popular sovereignty. In contrast, a people is any plurality of Person, persons considered as a whole. Used in politics and law, the term "a people" refers to the collective or community of an ethnic group or nation. Concepts Legal Chapter One, Article One of the Charter of the United Nations states that "peoples" have the right to self-determination. Though the mere status as peoples and the right to self-determination, as for example in the case of Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, Indigenous peoples (''peoples'', as in all groups of indigenous people, not merely all indigenous persons as in ''indigenous people''), does not automatically provide for independence, independent sovereignty and therefore secession.

Rigsdagen
The Rigsdag ( ) was the name of the national legislature of Denmark from 1849 to 1953. The Rigsdag was Denmark's first parliament, and it was incorporated in the Constitution of 1849. It was a bicameral legislature, consisting of two houses, the Folketing and the Landsting. The distinction between the two houses was not always clear, as they had equal power. In 1953, a new constitution was approved by referendum and adopted, with the result that the Rigsdag and the Landsting were eliminated in favor of a unicameral legislature under the name of the Folketing. The Rigsdag, like today's Folketing, sat in Christiansborg Palace in the centre of Copenhagen. Membership in the Rigsdag was limited to certain sectors of society – women were not allowed to join, and neither were about a quarter of all men over 30, mostly due to their condition as servants or welfare recipients. The name is a cognate of the names of several legislatures in other Germanic countries, such as the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Danske Kvindeforeningers Valgretsforbund
The Danske Kvindeforeningers Valgsretsudvalg (Danish Women's Society's Suffrage Committee) was established in 1898 by Louise Nørlund, with support from Line Luplau, in order to work towards obtaining the vote for women. In 1904, the organization's name was changed to ''Danske Kvindeforeningers Valgretsforbund'' (DKV) or the Danish Women's Society's Suffrage Union. The DKV consisted of an alliance of women's organizations targeting votes for women in both municipal and national elections. Under Nørlund's leadership, the number of associations grew from eight in 1898 to 22 in 1904. That year the organization joined the newly established International Women Suffrage Alliance (IWSA) making Denmark one of its first 10 members. Johanne Münter was the first international secretary until 1909 when Thora Daugaard took over until 1915 when Danish women won the right to vote. Nørlund participated in the 1904 IWSA Congress in Berlin and went on to organize the 1906 congress in Copenhage ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Rosengården
Rosengården is a small street in the Old Town of Copenhagen, Denmark, linking the pedestrianized street Fiolstræde in the west with the also pedestrianized square Kultorvet in the east.

No. 5-7, No. 6 and No. 13 are listed in the Listed buildings in Copenhagen Municipality, Danish registry of protected buildings and places. History The name Rosengården can be traced back to the late 14th century when it referred to an open area with scattered buildings in the area between Krystalgade and the North Rampart. One possibility is that the name referred to the roses that grew in grew in the gardens at One . Another possible explanation is that the nobleman Jens Rosengaard may have owned a house there.
