Of course she is! :D Read all the books when I was kids, plus saw the Swedish tv-series. (Swedish is my mother tongue.) Astrid Lindgren is a fabulous children's author, she's written so many different types of stories and fairy tales.
SHE?! Now i'm learning even more. I thought Astrid was a man! Well, then again, Pippi and I had our brief love affair over 20yrs ago. I was only interested in the character (she could pickup up her house!), not the authors background. Loved the books!
I don't know much about Astrid either, but I do know that she was a woman. ;) As a kid I had many cassettes with Astrid's stories, with her as the narrator. She died some years ago, in her nineties. I remember a radio interview where Astrid said that she had a very idyllic childhood, that she and her siblings "grew up in the shadow of their parent's love for each other".
