About the author
Veera Armida Roos, née Juvelius, was born in Jyväskylä on January 7, 1882, and died there on April 28, 1961. Finnish reference sources describe her as a playwright and a translator of literature.
She came from the large Juvelius family, which included several well-known siblings in literature, scholarship, religion, and public service. That background helps place her in a rich cultural setting, even if many details of her own life are not widely documented online.
Her surviving bibliography shows stage writing among her known work, including Pyhäaamu Anttilan pihalla, a one-act rural play now available through Project Gutenberg. Because easily accessible biographical material is limited, many personal details beyond these basic facts are not well confirmed in the sources I found.
