Per
your note, though I hadn't previosly
heard of Fredrika Bremer, I
found the following about her:
"Swedish
novelist born near Abo in Finland,
and brought up near Stockholm.
She is credited with the introduction
of the realistic family novel
into Swedish literature. Her
novels include FAmiljen H (The
Family H, 1831) Grannarna (The
Neighbors, 1837), and Hemmet
(The Home, 1839). Later she
devoted herself to teh education
and emancipation of women, which
informed her novels like Hertha
(1856) and Fader och dotter
(Father and Daughters, 1858).
An inveterate traveller, journeys
to Italy, Britain, Greece, Palestine
and the USA supplied the material
fortwo travel books, on the
Old World and the New."
This comes from the Cambridge
Biographical Dictionary.
I hope that helps with your
research--I learned something
new!
