Ellen Kleman

Ellen Emma Augusta Kleman (1867–1943) was a Swedish writer, newspaper editor and women's rights activist.

From 1907, she was editor of Dagny, a journal in support of the women's movement, replaced in 1914 by Hertha, which she also edited until 1932.

In 1921, she served on the board of the Fredrika Bremer Association, the Swedish women's rights organization, chairing its Stockholm chapter from 1922 to 1931.

Together with her friend Klara Johanson, with whom she lived from 1912 until she died, Kleman published four large volumes of Bremer's letters.
