Ellen Key
Ellen (Karolina Sofia) Key (Sundsholm (Zweden), 11 december 1849 - Strand, Vättermeer, 25 april 1926) was een Zweedse schrijfster, feministe, critica en pedagoge. Ellen Key schreef artikelen, essays en boeken over literatuur en kunst, over religie en politiek, over vrouwenkiesrecht en het huwelijk, maar ze werd vooral bekend door haar vooruitstrevende, maar soms ook omstreden ideeën over de opvoeding van het kind en de positie van de vrouw. Haar bekendste boek De eeuw van het kind (1900) werd in vele talen gepubliceerd. De Nederlandse vertaling verscheen in 1903. Lees meer op Wikipedia
