More information

Elin Wägner, author and journalist, was the second woman after Selma Lagerlöf to be a member of the Swedish Academy. As a journalist, she wrote for the newspaper Idun and Dagens Nyheter, mainly about social issues and the situation of women. She was also involved in issues relating to peace and the environment, and her ideas were far ahead of her time. She was also involved in the movement for women's suffrage and in aid organisations around the world.

In 1945, Siri Derkert modelled a small sculpture of Elin Wägner giving a speech (Bonniers portrait collection at Manilla). On 21 August 2015, a larger cast of the sculpture was unveiled at St Eriksplan in Stockholm, across from Vasaparken on the same side as Bonnierhuset.
