About the author
Jónína Sigríður Jónsdóttir (1884–1963) was an Icelandic author. Reliable catalog records from libraries identify her as the author of Leiðarvísir í ástamálum, including the volume II. fyrir ungar stúlkur.
That book is presented in library descriptions as a guide for young women, focused on courtship, behavior, appearance, and the social rules surrounding romance. Even from that limited surviving record, her work stands out as an example of how advice books once tried to shape everyday life and gender expectations.
Detailed biographical information about her life was not easy to confirm from the sources available here, so this overview stays close to what could be verified: her dates, her Icelandic background, and her authorship of a notable relationship-advice title.
