Anna Matilda Charlotta Branting (née Jäderin; 19 November 1855 – 11 December 1950), was a Swedish journalist and writer.

Anna Branting's parents were police inspector Erik Jäderin and Charlotta Gustava Holm.

[2] She started working as a translator after her divorce and was given a position at the paper of Branting, who was to become her second spouse: after he lost his fortune, she long supported the family.

From 1892 she had a successful career as a theater critic, respected and feared because of her sharp and witty reviews and a permanent reserved seat at the Royal Dramatic Theatre.

The main theme of her novels was a part of contemporary debate: the conflict between a woman, brought up under circumstances shaped by an older society, but frustrated because her views and longing belonged to the new society, which were at the time undergoing a rapid change in women's role.
