First female member of Parliament, Anna Rogstad, April 1911
Front cover of the Sphere showing Anna Rogstad the first female member of Parliament in the world as she takes her place in the Nowegian Storting.

The Sphere comments on the extension of the franchise to women in 1907, which also allowed for Rogstads election, as having not " upest the equilibrium of Norwegian politics", as well as conveying the somewhat surprised reaction of the male members of the assembly.

EDITORS COMMENTS
"Anna Rogstad, the trailblazing first female member of Parliament in the world, takes her seat in the Norwegian Storting in this historic photograph from April 1911. Previously a renowned teacher, Rogstad made significant strides in shaping Norway's educational policy and was an active member of the Norwegian Teachers Union. She was also one of the founding members of the Association for Women's Suffrage. The extension of the franchise to women in 1907, which paved the way for Rogstad's election, was described by The Sphere as not "upsetting the equilibrium of Norwegian politics," reflecting the somewhat surprised reaction of her male counterparts. Rogstad's groundbreaking achievement marked a milestone in the fight for women's rights and political representation, paving the way for future generations to follow in her footsteps." Image Description: Anna Rogstad, the first female member of Parliament in the world, sits confidently at her desk in the Norwegian Storting, surrounded by male members of the assembly, in this photograph taken in April 1911. Rogstad, dressed in a high-collared blouse and a long skirt, gazes intently at the proceedings, her expression reflecting a sense of determination and resolve. The male members of the assembly, dressed in formal attire, turn to look at her with a mixture of curiosity and surprise. The photograph, published on the front cover of The Sphere, conveys the significance of Rogstad's achievement and the impact it had on Norwegian politics.
