Biography
Ingegerd Troedsson (5 June 1929 – 3 November 2012) was a Swedish Moderate Party politician. She served as the first female Speaker of the Riksdag.
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.
