[1] She was the fourth of five daughters of the miner ”Mosis-Olle” Olof Ohlsson and Anna Israelsdotter.
Apparently, she enjoyed using spells to enhance her success and to affect the weather: this was a common practice in traditional folk belief, but whether she believed them or simply used them as a habit is unknown.
She was the maternal aunt of the famous con artist Lasse-Maja, who described his aunt: She was a true heroine of her sex, dressed herself in the clothes of a hunter, was an accomplished rider, loved to hunt and have other adventures of her own and was in effect more of a man than a woman.
[2] Lasse-Maja later blamed his aunt and her daughter Anna-Stina Ersdotter for having enticed him to his criminal activity, and it is clear that they played an important role in his life.
She is portrayed by Barbro Larsson in the film Den byxlöse äventyraren (1971) about her nephew Lasse-Maja.
