Biography

She studied in Uppsala (B.Sc. 1906) and then was a candidate in theology (the first female in Sweden, 1909) and an honorary doctor of divinity (also the first female, Uppsala 1941).

She had various teaching positions including as a lecturer at the teachers' college in Kalmar. After 1923 she took leave from lecturing to devote herself entirely to writing and lecturing. Later she lectured at the National Institute Högre lärarinneseminariet and at the University of Stockholm. She was a peace activist and attended the [[International Congress of Women#The Hague, Netherlands April 28%E2%80%93May 1, 1915[15]|Women's Peace Congress (1915)]], also called the Hague Congress in 1915 and after the Second World War founded the Swedish Per Sundberg IAL. She collaborated with Nathanael Beskow in Birkagården. In 1932 she joined the Society of Friends, and she was one of the first Quakers in Sweden.[1] She wrote many important religious writings. She was a contributor to the liberal feminist magazine Tidevarvet.[2]

From 1922 to 1929 she was married to the geographer Arnold Norlind. Her book about him (Arnold 1944) are at the top of her authorship. Her letters are also interesting, such as correspondence with Elin Wagner, Dear Ili, dearest Elin (ed. Gunnel Vallquist, 1989).
