Amelie Fredrika Dorothea von Braun (14 October 1811 – 30 March 1859)[1][2] was a Swedish educator and Christian preacher.
She was given a modest home schooling suitable for a middle class lady with limited means because her family could only afford to pay for her brothers' education.
[3] Her Sunday school work was supported by missionary and preacher Peter Fjellstedt and grew quickly, with 250 students noted in 1853.
Her main aim was to counteract the separatism she thought she saw and to preach fidelity to the doctrine of the Swedish state church.
She travelled around southern and central Sweden to evangelise, spreading the idea of regular Sunday school with Christian instruction for children.
