Fredrika Bremer (17 August 1801 – 31 December 1865) was a Swedish writer and feminist reformer.
Her Sketches of Everyday Life were wildly popular in Britain and the United States during the 1840s and 1850s and she is regarded as the Swedish Jane Austen, bringing the realist novel to prominence in Swedish literature.
In her late 30s, she successfully petitioned King Charles XIV for emancipation from her brother's wardship; in her 50s, her novel Hertha prompted a social movement that granted all Swedish women legal majority at the age of 25 and established Högre Lärarinneseminariet, Sweden's first female tertiary school.
It also inspired Sophie Adlersparre to begin publishing the Home Review, Sweden's first women's magazine.
In 1884, she became the namesake of the Fredrika Bremer Association, the first women's rights organization in Sweden.
