Her literary debut, Inte skära bara rispa [sv], was published during the Swedish feminist movements of 1977, and was controversial upon release.

Agneta Klingspor was born in Lysekil on 4 January 1946,[1] and grew up in the Swedish town of Uddevalla, both of which lie inside Västra Götaland County.

[2] Her first book, Inte skära bara rispa [sv] (English: Do Not Just Cut the Rice), was published in 1977, and relied heavily on her personal journals during the 1960s and 1970s.

[5] The Swedish author Ebba Witt-Brattström said Klingspor was a leader in the feminist movement "when we recreated the world".

[6] It was criticised as being too private, even for a diary; for not considering issues that women commonly faced, such as child-rearing; and her sexual writing was seen as "nymphomaniac" by contemporary reviewers.
