[1] Sissela Kyle plays women's rights advocate Dagmar Friman,[2] a fictitious version of Anna Whitlock, who in 1905 founded the consumer cooperative Svenska hem.

The series is written by Pernilla Oljelund,[1] and is based partly on the book Svenska Hem – en passionerad affär (2005) by Monika Björk and Eva Kaijser.

Following the success of the series, the book was re-released in 2013 under the name Svenska Hem – Den sanna historien om Fröken Frimans krig.

[1] Fröken Frimans krig is directed by Mikael Hellström and produced by Maria Nordenberg.

[5] In the Sveriges Radio show Vetenskapsradion Historia (aired 8 May 2014), historian Anita du Rietz stated that the series inaccurately portrays the situation of women during the early 1900s, and also misrepresents the work of Anna Whitlock.
