Ingegerd Troedsson
Ingegerd Troedsson (5 June 1929 - 3 November 2012) was a Swedish Moderate Party politician.[1] She served as the first female Speaker of the Riksdag.[2][3]
She was born in Vaxholm and was elected to the Riksdag in 1974. She had a junior role in the non-socialist government of 1976, as deputy Minister for Social Affairs 1976-78. In 1979 she was elected vice speaker of the Riksdag, a post she held until 1991 when, after the Moderate election victory, she was elected the first female speaker of the Swedish Riksdag.
She was a candidate for party leader in 1986 - after Ulf Adelsohn had resigned - but lost to Carl Bildt. Instead, she was elected deputy chairman - a position she held until 1993.
