This is a biography of Sweden's first female doctor Karolina Widerström (1856-1949) in the form of an anthology. Seven authors, all with research degrees, will contribute to the book, which will have twelve chapters. The editor of the book will be Ann-Katrin Hatje, Professor of History. The authors of the different chapters are Beatrice Christensen Sköld, Christina Florin, Lena Hammarberg, Ann-Katrin Hatje, Ulrika Nilsson, Gunnel Svedberg and Lisa Öberg. A common thread running through the anthology is Karolina Widerström's great contribution to popular education. She propagates hygiene, she is a pioneer in sex education and sex education in schools, she works for better child care and greater opportunities for working mothers to take care of their children's health. She spreads knowledge about how legislation prevents female academics from being employed by the state. Important arenas included the Fredrika Bremer Association, the National Association for Women's Political Suffrage, the Stockholm City Council and many other associations and institutions. Her books, pamphlets and writings were widely distributed. For example, her book Kvinnohygien went through seven editions between 1899 and 1932.
