Alma Åkermark

She was a co-founder of the radical feminist women's paper Framåt ('Forward'), and its editor during its entire publication.

[1] In 1886, she published the novel Pyrrhussegrar ('Pyrrhic Victories') by Stella Kleve, in which a dying, virtuous woman regretted having refused sexual pleasure because of social convention.

With the support of the Hedlund family, Alma Åkermark managed to continue publishing the paper herself.

In 1889, the paper discontinued publication when an organized advertising boycott deprived it of its finances, and Alma Åkermark lost her work as a teacher.

[1] She left Gothenborg with her spouse and started a new magazine in Nystad in Finland, Nya Tag ('New Efforts'), which only lasted four months.
