Alexandra Gripenberg (30 August 1857 - 24 December 1913) was a leading voice within the movement for women's rights in Finland at the turn of the century. She was also known as an author, a politician and a Fennoman. She was one of the first women to get elected into the Parliament of Finland. She got elected through the conservative Finnish Party, which proved somewhat difficult for her at times as she was Swedish-speaking nobility and the party was Finnish-speaking with deep roots in the Finnish countryside.
