Dótturfélögin

Dótturfélögin, also known as the "Daughter's League," is a social and cultural organization in Iceland, primarily for women. It was founded in 1908 by a group of women who sought to promote women's rights and social equality. The organization's name translates to "Daughter's League," reflecting its focus on the rights and welfare of women, particularly those who were daughters of Icelandic immigrants.

The primary goals of Dótturfélögin include advocating for women's rights, supporting women's education and employment, and providing social and cultural activities for women. The organization has played a significant role in Icelandic society, particularly in the early 20th century, when women's rights were still a contentious issue. It has also been involved in various social welfare initiatives, such as establishing kindergartens and supporting women in need.

Dótturfélögin is a member of the International Alliance of Women, a global network of women's organizations. The organization has a strong presence in Iceland, with chapters in various regions of the country. It continues to be an active force in promoting women's rights and social equality in Iceland.
