Anna-Maria Lenngren (1754-1817) Anna-Maria Lenngren, a woman who did a lot for equal rights for men and women. She has meant a lot to the equal rights for men and women and wrote about the roles that, at that time, came with the two genders. The man and the woman. In her poem “The-Conseillen” (The Tea Meeting) she makes fun of the gender roles and talks about how the women in her time are being treated and what their obligations are. She has made other poems that also mentions these problems, which will be explained later on in the text. She was one of Sweden’s first feminists and was active during the Enlightenment period in the 1700s. She was given a classical schooling - which was quite uncommon for a girl at that time - by her father Magnus Brynolf Malmstedt, who was an associate professor of Latin at Uppsala university. At an early age, she began a very successful writing and translating career and was acclaimed by King Gustav III for her adaptations of comic operas
