The objective with this paper has been to examine the opinion about the female suffrage in two local newspapers around 1918–1921 in Växjö. The newspaper was Nya Växjöbladet and Smålandsposten. The pick of the newspapers was made for the local connection and its political belonging which was liberal and conservative. As method has been used a qualitative text analysis. The articles were scanned for words associated with female suffrage. These are woman, female and female suffrage (kvinnor, kvinnlig, kvinnlig rösträtt). Via these words adequate articles has been picked and analysed from a political citizen perspective. Key words based on the theory have been status, internship and social benefits.

The results show that opinions appeared in the newspapers confirm previous studies that the conservative newspaper harboured more negative approach to the female suffrage and the liberal newspaper more positive approach.
