Centenary of Women’s Suffrage
It was a huge victory for Danish women when they won the right to vote and stand for election in 1915. Before had gone dec- ades of campaigning, which had mobilised thousands of women and which culminated in a large march on the royal residence Amalienborg on 5 June 1915.

Me, Said the Dog
On 13 June 2015, Post Danmark has issued three new franking labels featuring Danish national dog breeds. The three images depict a Danish-Swedish watchdog, a pointer and a Danish spitz. All three dogs have been chosen in cooperation with the Danish Kennel Club.“Post Danmark’s franking labels are making a great contribution to highlighting the importance of preserving national Danish dog breeds,” says communication consultant Vibeke Knudsen from the Danish Kennel Club, which is the biggest (33,000 members) and the oldest (founded in 1897) club for dog-owners in Denmark. Over the years, the club has spearheaded the work to reserve the old Danish dog breeds.
