Please see photos. Fredrika Bremer (1801 1865) was a Finnish-born Swedish writer and reformer. Her Sketches of Everyday Life were wildly popular in Britain and the United States during the 1840s and 1850s and she is regarded as the Swedish Jane Austen, bringing the realist novel to prominence in Swedish literature. In her late 30s, she successfully petitioned King Charles XIV for emancipation from her brother's wardship; in her 50s, her novel Hertha prompted a social movement that granted all unmarried Swedish women legal majority at the age of 25 and established Högre Lärarinneseminariet, Sweden's first female tertiary school. It also inspired Sophie Adlersparre to begin publishing the Home Review, Sweden's first women's magazine as well as the later magazine Hertha. In 1884, she became the namesake of the Fredrika Bremer Association, the first women's rights organization in Sweden. Throughout her journey in America, she wrote extensive letters to her sister Agathe which were later edited into her 2-volume 1853 Homes in the New World.

Hardcover. Condizione: 560. First American Edition. Two volumes in original cloth bindings, pp. xii, 651; 654. Spined sunned but legible, with slight fraying to cloth; corners rubbed, light scattered foxing. Bremer (1801-1865) was a Swedish writer and champion of women's rights. Her domestic novels were very popular both at home and abroad and earned her the sobriquet "the Swedish Jane Austen." In 1849, Bremer visited the United States, where she was welcomed in New England as a kindred spirit for her antislavery sentiments. There she met with Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, James Russell Lowell, and Nathaniel Hawthorne, among others. She went on to visit Shaker and Quaker communities in the mid-Atlantic, to view the conditions of slaves in the South, and to tour Scandinavian communities in the Midwest. Sabin 7713, Howes B-745.…
