Life

Emilia Fogelklou was born in 1878 as the daughter of city councilor Johan Fredrik Fogelklou and his wife Maria Persson in Simrishamn, a municipality in the southern Swedish province of Skåne . After graduating from high school, she attended the higher teachers' college in Stockholm until 1899 and then worked as a teacher in Gothenburg from 1902 to 1905. In 1906 she began a bachelor's degree at Uppsala University with a focus on the history of religion, the history of literature, theoretical and practical philosophy and education. In 1907 she published her first book Francis of Assisi .

In 1909 she became the first woman in Sweden to graduate from theology. In 1910/11 she was on an Olaus Petri scholarship in England, France and Italy to find out about current philosophical and religious movements. In the next few years she was a teacher at various schools and adult education centers (folkhögskola). In 1915 she participated in the International Women's Peace Congress in The Hague ( Netherlands ). From 1918 to 1919 she was a lecturer and then a lecturer at the teachers' college in Kalmar. In 1919 she published the biography Birgitta about St. Birgitta of Sweden , by 1920 she had already written a dozen books on psychology, religion and social sciences.

Emilia Fogelklou married the geography lecturer and Dante translator Arnold Norlind in 1922, and they settled in Jakobsberg near Stockholm. Arnold Norlind died of tuberculosis in 1929 at the age of 45 . Her book Arnold (1944) about her husband was to be the culmination of her literary work. After 1923 she took leave of the lectures in order to devote herself entirely to writing and lecturing. She later worked as a lecturer at the Stockholm National Institute for Teacher Training and at Stockholm University. She was one of the founders of the Quaker community in Sweden in 1935 . In 1943 she was the first woman in Sweden to receive an honorary doctorate in theology from Uppsala University.
