Kvindernes valgret 100 år - Odense, Denmark - Civil Rights Memorials on Waymarking.com

Kunstnerisk mindeplade og et egetræ er langt i jorden og plantet i Munke mose for at markere grundlovsændringen i 1915 og 100-årsdagen for kvinders valgret i Danmark.

Traditionen med at plante et træ - ofte et egetræ - for at ære de kvinder, der første an i kravet om lovændringen, ses mange steder i landet og betegnes kvinde-ege.

Den 20. april 1908 ændredes Valgloven, så kvinder fik stemmeret til kommunalvalg, og året efter, den 12. marts 1909, fire dage efter at man fejrede Kvindedagen for første gang i USA, deltog kvinder for første gang i et kommunalt valg i Danmark. Grundlovsændringen i 1915, der trådte i kraft i 1918, gav kvinder stemmeret og valgbarhed til folke- og landstingsvalg.

English: Artistic memorial plaque and an oak tree are deep in the ground and planted in Munke bog to mark the constitutional amendment in 1915 and the 100th anniversary of women's suffrage in Denmark.

The tradition of planting a tree - often an oak tree - to honor the women who first came to the demand for a change in the law is seen in many places in the country and is called women's oak or woman tree.

On April 20, 1908, the Election Act was amended to give women the right to vote in municipal elections, and the following year, on March 12, 1909, four days after Women's Day was celebrated for the first time in the United States, women participated in a municipal election in Denmark for the first time. The constitutional amendment of 1915, which came into force in 1918, gave women the right to vote and stand for election to general and county council elections.
