Anne Charlotte Leffler's 1885 speech and wearing of a reform dress generated publicity that led to the society's formation.
In February 1885, Anne Charlotte Leffler held a speech on dress reform in the women's club Nya Idun. She asked Hanna Winge to design a Swedish reform dress, which Leffler then wore, becoming the first woman in Sweden to do so.
