About the author
Born in 1873, Ebba Pauli was a Swedish author, lecturer, and social activist whose work reached far beyond the page. She became known for her strong involvement in social reform, especially questions of poor relief, and for helping to shape the Swedish settlement movement through Birkagården.
Alongside her public work, she wrote fiction and other texts marked by moral seriousness and spiritual interest. Sources describe her as a socially committed writer who also encouraged wider interest in psychology and spiritual healing within care and community life.
Pauli died in Stockholm in 1941. She is remembered not only as an author, but as a figure who brought together literature, faith, and hands-on social engagement in early twentieth-century Sweden.
