Fredrique Hammarstedt

She was born to the tobacco merchan Teodor Benjamin Unge (d. 1827) and Antoinetta Lovisa Hård af Segerstad.

She was appreciated by the parents of her students for her conservative views, such as her strict adherence to the State Church after the introduction of freedom of religion.

In 1855, she married the clergyman Gustaf Hammarstedt, vicar of the Danviken Parish, with whom she had six daughters, but because of their professions, the couple lived in separated residences.

An anecdote is known about the contrast between her conservative views and the fact that she lived the life of an independent woman in practice.

[...] Well, to reside in another place than your husband, to continue living there almost the entire marriage and to support yourself and your children by yourself - surely that is rather emancipated!
