Rosalie Roos, as married Olivecrona (9December 1823-4 June 1898 in Stockholm), was a Swedish feminist and writer. She is counted as one of the three great pioneers of the organized women's right mowement in Sweden, alongside Fredrika Bremer and Sophie Adlersparre.
[edit] BiographyShe was born in a wealthy family, educated in a girls school and took part in charity as an adult. One of her friends, Hulda Hahr, was a teacher at a girls school in Limestone in USA, and offered her a position on the school. She travelled to USA in 1851, and stayed there for four years. She later wrote a description of her stay and of the culture in the South, were she was a governess on a plantation south of Charleston in South Carolina. She was first a teacher in French at the school in Limestone, then a governess at the plantation of two of ehr students, Eliza and Annie Peronneau. She did not notice any abuse of the slaves herself, but she considered slavery to be unatural and "emotionally disgusting", and was convinced that it would be unavoitable abolished, though not without much resistance. She returned to Sweden in 1855. In 1859, she founded the paper "Tidskrift för hemmet" in companionship with her friend Sophie Adlersparre. The paper was a feminist publication, which argued for women's rights, particularly the right to higher education and profession. They wrote many of the articles themselwes. In 1861, Roos and Adlersparre made a journey through Germany, France, England, Scotland and Ireland to compare the difference within the feminist mowement, and raported that it was little known in Germany and France in comparisson to Great Britain. In 1864, she took part in the foundation of the Swedish Red Cross (1865) with Adlersparre, General Major Rudebeck and dr Lemchen. In 1857 married to statesman Knut Olivecrona. [edit] Works
