Norwegian Association for Women's Rights founded

The Norwegian Association for Women's Rights was established on 28 June 1884 by 171 prominent Norwegians, led by Gina Krog and Hagbart Berner.

The founding occurred in 1884, involving 171 prominent women and men from the progressive liberal establishment. The initiative was driven by Gina Krog and Hagbart Berner, who modeled the organization after U.S. predecessors of the League of Women Voters. A 1909 NKF report covering 28 June 1884 to 28 June 1909 supports the founding date. This event marked the creation of Norway's first formal women's rights organization.
