Ulrika von Strussenfelt

Ulrika "Ulla" Sophia von Strussenfelt (9 May 1801, Hilleshög – 16 January 1873, Stockholm), was a Swedish writer.

She was a popular writer of historical novels and has been referred to as one of the most productive Swedish novelists of her time.

Ulrika von Strussenfelt never married, and like her sister, she supported herself as a governess, which was at the time the most common profession for a middle- or upper class woman: between 1834 and 1859, she managed her own school for girls.

While her novels were never met with admiration by literary critics, they were popular among the public and successful enough to be translated into several languages.

Most of her novels were historical and written in a nationalistic, but in the same time liberal tone.
