also be classed as educational work. It is
a voluntary gathering without statutes, an
agreement between women of the well-to-do
class to invite workingwomen to their homes,
and through pleasant and helpful association
with them to diminish the distance between
the classes. Ellen Key had once heard a
young working-girl, say: "It is not your
better food and finer clothes we mostly envy,
but it is the many intellectual enjoyments
which are so much more within your reach
than ours. " This gave her the idea. On the
1st of March, 1892, she commenced to arrange
these socials with the assistance of some friends.
A number of ladies, twelve in each group, took
turns in inviting to their homes young women
employed in some manual labour, to become
acquainted with them and thus bridge the gap
between the different grades of society. The
journalist Rene writes about these social
gatherings: "Ellen Key also loves to spread
joy. Each and every one who knows anything
at all about her life knows that though her
days are crowded with serious work, study,
and research she yet gives many hours to
through her lectures at the People's Institute, she came in touch
with workingwomen. But "Tolfterna" were founded on the idea
of rmttnal exchange, and that constituted their novelty.
