Encyclopedia
Ann Margret Holmgren, née
Tersmeden (17 February 1850 at Hässle Manor, Uppland
- 12 October 1940), was a Swedish author, feminist and pacifist.
She was the daughter of the conservative politican and courtier, nobleman Jacob Nils Tersmeden and Baroness Augusta Jacquette Cederström, and married Frithiof Holmgren in 1869.
After the death of her husband in 1897, she was inspired by her friends Ellen Key
and Lydia Wahlström
to engage in gender equality. She was the Vice Chairman of the Stockholm branch of the Swedish Society for Woman Suffrage
in 1902-1904 and the secretary of the executive comity of the Swedish Society for Woman Suffrage in 1903-06. As a feminist, Holmgren caused considerable controversy by her support for love and sex outside of marriage, in conflict with the contemporary sexual double standard.
Ann Margret Holmgren was also active as a writer under the pseudonym Märta Bolle. She published Fru Stråhle. Tidsbilder ur tre släktled (1894) and När riddar Ulf suckar. Ur familjekrönikan på Höögsborg (1896), both translated to German.
She was vice chairman of Sveriges kvinnliga fredsförening (The Swedish Women's Peace Association) in 1901-10, honorary member of Nordiska museet and the Philochoros Society.
