Anniversary

Guess what happened in Norway 95 years ago today; 11th June 1913! No Googling allowed!

  1. Women got the right to vote?

  2. Is that when Christiana became Oslo? (A pure guess, and probably a very embarrassingly wrong one)

  3. I Googled after guessing and, if it's what I think it is (I couldn't find the actual day, just the year), I was waaaay wrong.

    That was pretty early! Way to go Norway!

  5. Mh. That's way earlier than my country, but if what I just read on the web is correct, Norway was quite early.

  6. Ha, you norwegians are just so slow... unlike us Finns ;) In Finland, women got the right to vote already in 1906, and the same year the first female members of parliament were elected :)
    p.s. I new the answer, I'm just too slow... hmm... wait a second... is there a flaw in my logic...? ;)

  8. I can't remember how I know that, but it might be thanks to Roald Dahl's autobiography.
