Sophie Sager

Sophie (or Sofie) Sager, (Växjö, Sweden, 1825 – New York City, United States, 1902), was a Swedish writer and feminist.

Born into a wealthy family, Sophie Sager was educated in a girls’ school.

But the court was convinced by the doctor’s report, and found Möller guilty of attempted rape and violence.

She claimed women had become passive regarding their few rights and suffered low self-esteem due to poor education.

"I am the one who defies the false ideals of opinion, to enable myself to show my emancipation in my way of life.” ”I am the first woman in Sweden, to stand for the emancipation-theory in public, and therefore, it can not yet be so common, as it will be some day.”
