Mia Green

Maria Amalia "Mia" Green (née Lundmark; 14 April 1870 – 24 June 1949) was a Swedish photographer and feminist activist.

Haparanda marked a point where the Swedish and Russian rail systems came very close to each other.

In 1898, Mia married seminary teacher and church musician Ulrik Green (1869-1949).

One of her students was Hilda Augusta Larsson, who was Swedish but established a photography business in Finland.

[1] Her pictures recorded notable politicians, opera singers and nobility as well as revolutionaries, spies and smugglers, but she is also remembered for the work she did in establishing care for the elderly.
