Hilma Angered Strandberg

She was the daughter of Justice and member of the Swedish Academy Carl Gustaf beach Berg (1825–1874) and his wife Eva Helleday (1830–1869).

She married the artist Hjalmar Angered and emigrated with him to the United States, where they lived from 1888 to 1894 and she wrote articles in the form of letters to Swedish newspapers.

From 1904 to 1914, she undertook long study trips to the Switzerland and from Italy, continuing to report back to Swedish newspapers and magazines.

In her Swedish-American life, she found useful themes for some strange, pessimistic colored descriptions as in her works the nya världen (The new world).

In her books, she criticized double standards and dogmatism, as in the novel På Prairies (The Plains) and in her autobiography Lydia Vik.
