Was the issue of women's suffrage debated during the drafting of the 1809 Instruments of Government?

This isn't much of an answer, but maybe a helpful lead for further research if you can read Swedish. The following is from the book Suffrage, Gender and Citizenship – International Perspectives on Parliamentary Reforms:
A proposal for a new constitution was rapidly produced, and a new governmental organisation was approved by the Riksdag on June 6 [in 1809]. It gave the Riksdag greater authority, which in turn entailed that more issues requiring solutions could also be discussed there, for example female policy issues and issues concerning citizenship and representation. It was also in the Riksdag of 1809-10 that proposals were made to replace the old Diet of Estates with a two-chamber parliament. Thereby, the issue of changing the basis of representation was placed on the political agenda.
The footnote on this passage points to multiple books in Swedish as follows.
