spent time in England, France and Germany.1 Probably most attention has been given in later research to her time as editor, between 1859 and 1868, together with Sophie Adlersparre, for Tidskrift för Hemmet that they had founded. Tidskrift för Hemmet was a pioneering enterprise in Sweden, a journal for women, edited and, to a large extent, written by women.2 Around it was formed an environment being the informal centre of the women’s movement in Sweden.3 Rosalie Olivecrona was engaged in Swedish presentations at several world exhibitions. She chaired a committee with the task to present ”woman's work in Sweden” at the 1873 world exhibition in Vienna.4 She wrote a part of the Swedish catalogue for the Philadelphia world exhibition in 1876.5 At the unofficial women’s conference at the 1889 world exhibition of Paris a text of her was read.6 She also maintained international contacts – one of the most important being with Mary Carpenter, which she heard at the meeting of National association for the promotion of social science in Dublin 1861. In 1868 the Olivecronas visited Mary Carpenter in Bristol. Rosalie Olivecrona and Mary Carpenter were correspondents and Rosalie Olivecrona wrote several articles with Carpenter as subject.7 She also travelled without her husband. On a journey to Rome in 1896 she visited a women's congress in Berlin. 8 1 Fryxell 1898 p 3 sq, 9, Nordenstam 2001 p 40 sqq, Olsson 1993 p 129 sqq, Roos 1969 p 179, 182 sqq. 2 Fryxell 1898 p 5 sq, Nordenstam 2001 p 43 sqq. 3 ”Fram till Fredrika-Bremer-förbundets bildande 1884 fungerade Tidskrift för hemmet och det nätverk som fanns runt omkring den i praktiken som kvinnorörelsens oorganiserade forum.” Nordenstam 2001 p 31. 4 Letter from Rosalie Olivecrona to Mary Carpenter 28/11 1872 Kartong 18 OFA RA, cf Manns 1986 p 17. 5 Olivecrona 1876. 6 Idun 1889 p 312, Manns 1986 p 19. 7 Note in the diary of Knut Olivecrona 25/7 1868 Kartong 17 OFA RA, Olivecrona 1872, Olivecrona 1877 especially p 2 sqq, Olivecrona 1880 and Olivecrona 1881, draft of letter from Knut Olivecrona (with corrections by Rosalie Olivecrona) to John Dove Wilson 5/6 1877 G 187 k:18, draft of letter from Knut Olivecrona to Elizabeth Adelaide Manning 19/5 1883 (Swedish version by K O and English by R O) G 197 k:19 UUB.

Knut Olivecrona had in Rosalie a spouse who was present in much of the activities of interest for this study. They were complemental to each other, not least in different reforming projects. Sometimes they followed parallel lines. The German law professor Franz von Holtzendorff whom Knut Olivecrona often corresponded with were also a correspondent of Rosalie Olivecrona regarding women questions.1 When they had visited the reformatory for juvenile (age eight to eighteen) offenders at Val d'Yèvre, founded by Charles Lucas (père), they both wrote articles about it. 2 It occurred that they sent texts of them both to a friend.3 In international correspondence, officially written by Knut, their cooperation is manifest. Two hands had often been working on the drafts, especially those in English that could be almost rewritten by Rosalie.4 There is no major biography of Knut Olivecrona. Interesting to note is that the elder, and for later biographical texts very influential, of the two biographies in Svenskt Biografiskt Lexikon was written by Rosalie Olivecrona, using the pseudonym, ”St-”, and Knut Olivecrona wrote to the editor, Elof Tegnér, that he wanted to read the proofs himself.5 Although women was almost invisible in debates and politics Rosalie Olivecrona is an example that this wasn't due to lack of interest or activity. Also Tidskrift för hemmet was an example of the opposite principle, here the activity of men mostly was behind the scene.6 It's easy to follow 19th century patterns and deduce that the overwhelming political and economic power of the men 1 Draft of letter from Rosalie Olivecrona to Franz von Holtzendorff ”hösten 1869”, 1/5 1870 and 24/2 1879 Kartong 18 OFA RA. 2 Olivecrona 1868b (Knut), Olivecrona 1873a 2 (Knut) and Olivecrona 1869 (Rosalie), cf letters from Charles Lucas fils to Knut Olivecrona 7/10 1868 and 3/4 1869 G 197 k:10 UUB.

From Ufford the Olivecronas had received Ufford 1876 and now sent him Olivecrona 1868a and a booklet of Rosalie Olivecrona intituled Womens work in Sweden, probably a separate print of Olivecrona 1876, next year Ufford would receive Olivecrona1873b and a biography on Mary Carpenter by Rosalie Olivecrona, probably Olivecrona 1877, letter from Knut Olivecrona to Jakob Karel Willem Quarles van Ufford 7/5 1878 Gp 47,16 UvA. 4 Among many examples we can mention a few, draft of letter from Knut Olivecrona to Franz von Holtzendorff 23/1 1871 G 187 k:17, draft of letter from Knut Olivecrona to John Dove Wilson 5/6 1877 G 187 k:18, draft of letter from Knut Olivecrona to Barwick Baker 11/6 1879 G 187 k:18, draft of letter from Knut Olivecrona to Charles Lucas 8/9 1881 G 197 k:18 and draft of letter from Knut Olivecrona to Elizabeth Adelaide Manning 19/5 1883 (Swedish version by KO and English by RO) G 197 k:19 UUB. 5 Olivecrona 1879-81, letter from Knut Olivecrona to Elof Tegnér 18/3 and 23/4 1878 8 Brevsamling Elof Tegnér LUB. 6 For some glimpses of Knut Olivecronas role vis-à-vis Tidskrift för hemmet see Nordenstam 2001 p 29, 53, 55, 73, 132. 7
