About the author

Ellen Karolina Sofia Key (Swedish pronunciation: [kej]) was a Swedish difference feminist writer on many subjects in the fields of family life, ethics and education and was an important figure in the Modern Breakthrough movement. She was an early advocate of a child-centered approach to education and parenting, and was also a suffragist.

She is best known for her book on education, Barnets århundrade (1900), which was translated in English in 1909 as The Century of the Child.

Reviews

I read sections of this after reading "Loving Frank." Pretty remarkable given the time Ms. Key was writing, and it was probably more interesting to read while the characters of "Loving Frank" were still clearly in my mind.

Eski bir kitap olduğundan olsa gerek, yazım dili hiç hoşuma gitmedi. Çok basit kurulabilecek cümleler çok kötü oluşturulmuştu ve sürekli anlamaya çalışmam gerekti. Anlatmak istediği şeyi anlıyorum, merak ettiğimden de okudum. Konusu güzel olsa da sevemedim maalesef.

Many fans of Swedish feminist Ellen Key aaren't likely to know (or, perhaps, care) that The Woman Movement was translated into English by Mamah Borthwick Cheney, the inamorata of Frank Lloyd Wright on the eve of her elopement to Europe with Wright. I read the book for that curious connection.
