Anna Branting
Anna Matilda Charlotta Branting , née Jäderin, (born November 19, 1855 in Stockholm ; † December 11, 1950, ibid) was a Swedish writer and journalist .
Life
Anna Branting's parents were Stockholm Police Commissioner Erik Jäderin (1804–1876) and his wife Charlotta Holm (1826–1886), their geodesist siblings Edvard Jäderin and Axel Jäderin , one of the founders of the daily newspaper Svenska Dagbladet . Branting received her education at the Stockholm State Elementary School. After finishing school she worked from 1884 to 1885 for the magazine Tiden and later from 1886 to 1892 and 1913 to 1917 as a theater reviewer for the social democratic daily newspaper Social-Demokrats and wrote under the pseudonym René . In the meantime she worked for the daily newspaper Stockholmstidningen from 1892 to 1909.
Her literary work includes tragic novels and short stories that deal with fidelity in marriage, women's need for work and maintenance, and marital conflicts as the main theme. Sometimes death and isolation are the only choices society gives women. The views expressed in the stories were sometimes criticized as brutal and naive. The book Lena, en bok om fruntimmer (Lena, a book about women) was published as early as 1893 . It tells of the divorced Lena who meets a sensual friend (Mrs. Linder). The book vividly describes what conventional social life looked like at that time. In the novel Staden (1901) she portrays the writers and friends Axel Wallengren and Emil Kléen, who were often guests of the Brantings in the 1890s.
Branting was married to Lieutenant Gustav Vilhelm von Kræmer from 1877 to 1883 and from 1884 to Hjalmar Branting .
In 1922, Anna Branting was the first Swedish woman to be honored with the highest ranking French award in France and was made a Knight of the Legion of Honor .
